“Robert John Miller Collaborates with Robert John Miller vis a vis Artistic Integrity vis a vis Creating a Worldwide Sensation vis a vis Paying the Rent” by Robert John Miller, from Propagule 5. The title tells you everything you need to know, really. Well, it doesn’t mention the musical with the eight-legged ants, or the Camus, or the wireless printing troubleshooting, or the horse performances at the Winter Olympics. There’s also the rather serious issues about the metaphysics of personal identity raised—we’re looking into what to say about the matter. While we do that, you can browse this postmodern reflexive epistolary classic.
It’s a whole infestation of ants, and if you had killed them when they were small then they wouldn’t have destroyed the city, but the ants grow larger—large enough that killing them seems wrong, maybe, but that’s what you have to do. That’s the whole thing. It’s a play, with some special stage effects (mostly people in ant costumery, not real ants that are lab-grown to become huge, which could inadvertently trigger the literal scenario we’re trying to warn against), but I’d also love it as (potentially) a musical, though I know that’s a big ask. Also, the ants are slimy. More like ant-shaped amphibians, really. I think that would have more resonance, if the ants are slimy. I’m going to say the ants have to be slimy, for all of this to work.
