(3) The farmer and the starlet

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

"The farmer looks dead and there's nothing wrong with that picture. Look at the starlet. She's as dead as the farmer. " Warning: Any direct or indirect ressemblance to anything or anybody living or dead is purely coincidental! The storybook "Morbid and moronic referential code of life and society" is inspired and dedicated to Giovanni Boccaccio, the 14th century Italian author of the "Decameron". Boccaccio's storytelling is lively, sarcastic, off beat and challenging to the norm with these truths we accept when we have to. The stories in the referential code are (according to the author) Contributions of accounts sent by all kinds of people, some recounting an event they witnessed or remember. Some leave a chilling first hand narrative. The tone is "descriptive". The anonymous context allowed revelations of personal experiences outside of daily life, or on subjects all contributions had to live up to: only accounts of what life and society have as the least comforting to offer.The result are "stories" mysterious and suspenseful, with sarcasm, irony and dark humour. There are funny moronic moments, but there is no escaping the grip of terrible sadness and trauma, all weaved in a pattern studded with tidbits of history, occult, chaos, mortality and death

(3) The farmer and the starlet


3) The farmer and the starlet.


Recently, a farmer was doing his life, and he died. The coincidence is, the very same day, a famous starlet died too. She fell seventeen stories and smacked the ground so hard she died. There was blood everywhere. Her figure was grotesquely strawn out of shape.


Pictures were taken. The investigation brought yellow tape, police, ambulances, crowds, the morgue, autopsy, cremation and her ashes in a jar. We know that. But I wanna go back, to when she hits the parking so hard she dies. There's blood everywhere. Her figure is grotesquely strawn out of shape.


Just before anything else happens, this moment is captured on picture film. The image I'm projecting on the screen is of this moment, enlarged for use in our post investigation the first one ignored completely. This next image on the side is of the farmer's body, left the way it was discovered in the field by his family. Both are dead, that is clear. The starlet you'll notice was wearing a pink dress that cost five hundred dollars.


The farmer's overalls are like the free ones at the Salvation Army. Her shoes cost nine hundred dollars. It doesn't show. The farmer's rubber boots, once cleaned up a bit, would cost about twenty-five cents to a dollar at a second-hand store. Her pantyhose, to shade her legs cost thirty dollars. The farmer has longjohns beneath his overalls worth twenty-five cents at a local frith shop.


His shirt is worth at most one dollar. The starlet paid one hundred and fifty dollars the same day she died for her bra and panties. The farmer's socks were thrown away, sweaty and holed, worth nothing. He had no jewelry. Only his wedding ring.Gold, no diamond, worth fifty dollars.


The starlet's jewelry combined, three chains, four rings, and earrings are worth eight thousand dollars. Here are other details about her. Hair treatment that day, color and care at six hundred dollars. The jet makeup kit was one thousand dollars. Body cream, nine hundred dollars.Perfume, two thousand dollars.Unnecessary surgery, six thousand dollars.A total of about eight-teen thousand four hundred and eighty.


This is what our preliminary investigation grossed out. Secondly, the attention attracted by her death, funerals, etc., once compiled and sorted out, is immense. The correlation with the farmer is where all this clashes. As you see in both pictures, they're dead, and the difference is eight-teen thousand four hundred and eighty dollars in all sorts combined failed to prevent her from dying. As grotesque as she looks, none of those expensive artificialities helped her in any way. It even looks more ridiculous no(w.


The farmer looks dead and there's nothing wrong with that picture. Look at the starlet. She's as dead as the farmer. Now about all the media attractions and funerals. The farmer's dead and buried. Only family present, and the local priest. The Scarlett after intense attention is somewhere in an expensive jar. Another correlation with the farmer, the difference and where it clashes is at how selfish people are when it comes to money, and artificial.


The dead need nothing. The farmer, the starlet especially, is still dead, despite all the crap around her. Look at the two pictures again, very carefully. They're both dead, right? Look at how ugly she is, artificial. I want you to look at the two pictures again and remember this last point of our investigation: fame. Her fame didn't even prevent her from dying. Farmers and others die thousands every day.


We don't know them, and regardless of who dies and how, it never changes our lives. Who cares to know she died? She was better than no one, and certainly no better than the farmer. Arguments? Objections? Silence yourselves and look at the two pictures. Who's deader than who? Any other considerations, whether personal or shared by all, is a selfish superficiality. Not even fame or money prevents death. We all die.
