ONE SHOULDN'T SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON A NOPEIST PAINTING. I LIKE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE 300 PAINTINGS A DAY. IT'S NOT DIFFICULT. WHY WASTE TIME PAINTING W/ONLY ONE HAND WHEN YOU HAVE TWO? YOU HAVE TWO EYES & TWO HANDS SO YOU CAN PAINT A PAINTING W/ONE EYE & ONE HAND & THE OTHER HAND & THE OTHER EYE CAN PAINT ANOTHER PAINTING AT THE SAME TIME. THERE'S NO EXCUSE NOT TO BE A PROLIFIC NOPEIST PAINTER.

 If anything remains of Nopeism--& hopefully nothing will--it will consist of no more than a handful of things no one got around to covering over & when they finally do get around to covering it over Nopeism will at that moment exist again.

 

 NOPEISM CONTRADICTS ITSELF EVERY TIME IT SPEAKS. NOPEISM NEVER AGREES W/ITSELF IF IT DID IT WOULD IMMEDIATELY BE ANOTHER FALSEHOOD. CONTRADICTION IS THE ONLY WAY THINGS MOVE FORWARD.

NOPEISM IS IN CONSTANT ADVERSARIAL DIALOGUE W/ITSELF. NOPEISM IS AN ARGUMENT THAT NEVER ENDS BETWEEN PARTIES THAT ARGUE FOR THE JOY OF ARGUMENT ITSELF. NOPEISM AT ANY GIVEN TIME IS THE STATE OF THAT ARGUMENT. 

NOPEISM IS THE JOY OF ARGUMENTATION AS A GENERATIVE ACT NO DIFFERENT THAN SEXUAL RELATIONS.

NOPEISM IS AN ARGUMENT W/THE WORLD.

LIFE IN A MORTAL BODY IS AN ARGUMENT W/THE WORLD.

 

nopeism is what happens when yr trying to do something else.

I have something too big to tell you

so big I can’t fit it in my mouth

so I’ll pack a bag & fly to LA

There I’ll stuff a porpoise full of dynamite

& leave it ticking in yr nightmares

 

I took the wheel from my mother

& ran that guy over in the supermarket

I backed up & ran him over again & again

as he bent over for a jar of tomato sauce

He was still alive when I drove away

lifting himself out of his own flatness

like a cartoon

I’m glad I didn’t know his name

Who cares about his fucking pasta?

 

We must leave the backs of our heads open

to let the swallows out

there’s just no other way to go on

the road’s that dark

you have to stare through a peephole

to see who’s there

It feels like you’ve got an octopus

holding onto yr face

 

The way I see it

something is happening

& it’s no laughing matter

except on Mars

 

The way I see it what’s the point

of apologizing for any flaw in the labyrinth?

The way I see it I’m glad there’s no escape

If you explain to me the logic of the spinal column

I’ll respond by eating yr dark chocolate

& fault yr ultra-high standards

of moral clarity

So there

 

There are fires burning all the forests of the word

There are dogs on skateboards

rolling down Ventura Boulevard

I’m not crazy or wild-eyed for nothing

I just copied all these ideas down

from people who refused to try better next time

 

 

 

  

Nopeism isn't defined it's recognized.

 

 My nopeism may be yr senseless stupidity just as yr nopeism may seem nothing more than senseless stupidity to me. This should be not only expected & accepted but celebrated.

 LET EVERY NOPEIST LOOK TO HIS OR HER OWN NOPE.

IN FACT, IF YR A NOPEIST IT'S PROBABLY BETTER IF YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT.

 For the Nopeist, there's no reason to shock, surprise or scandalize anyone. A Nopeist neither requires nor necessarily even desires an audience to shock, surprise or scandalize. An individual Nopeist is him or herself the only audience a Nopeist ever needs.

 

NOPEISM DOESN'T FEAR THE DEAD END.

NOPEISM HAS BLIND FAITH IN THE U-TURN. 

SPONTANEOUS NOPEIST SCULPTURE

 

IT'S A VERY SIMPLE THING

TO SAY NOPE TO THIS WORLD.

IT'S A VERY SIMPLE THING TO

LIVE THAT NOPE. WHAT CAN 

BE COMPLICATED IS DISCOVERING

HOW SIMPLE IT REALLY

 IS 

 

 a nopeist isn't looking for attention. a nopeist is looking for nope.
