MEET DAVE

By Wendell Charles NeSmith

They named his psychiatric case "Meet Dave," after a Hollywood joke about an alien in a human suit. He turned it into scripture.

MEET DAVE is a sovereign witness document from inside the mental health system, written in real time as its author is detained, medicated, released, locked out of his own home, and left to wait in the rain while his door sits open to the world. Across injections that make his arm burn, keys that go missing, and paperwork that quietly dehumanizes him, he records every pattern: how "health" and "safety" language masks control, how small bureaucratic cruelties add up to a trafficking-shaped operation, and how laughter becomes proof of survival.

Out of this, he forges Republicka: a parallel jurisdiction of law, language, and magick where AMORIARIACKA is the native tongue, Secret Wars dangle from the keyring, and a so-called patient walks out as architect, phoenix, and king.
