Virilio
writes: “Man is the passenger of woman, not only at the time of his birth,
but also during their sexual relations.... Paraphrasing Samuel Butler, we could
say that the female is the means that the male found to reproduce himself, that is to say, to come to the world. In this sense, woman is the first means of transportation
for the species, its very first vehicle, the second would be the horse with the enigma of the coupling of dissimilar bodies
fitted out for the migration, the common voyage.”
From this,
we seek to explore the phenomenology of man’s initial dismount from his primary vehicle, to mounting his secondary.
dismount
... dissolution?
is the
desire to mount the horse, this more steeply alterior body, an erotic ilmpulse, an impulse to exotic. What does the exotic offer? Is each serial vehicle –
woman[ii], horse, train, automobile, airplane – an additional erotic encounter?

to mount
the horse to mount the machine is to breakthrough the borderline, it is to trace oneself out of the isolate self, it is a
gesture toward Alterior Organization ...
“As
a species, horses could not have survived without human intervention. Humans
could not have created wealth-generating (and, for that matter, leisure) opportunities that come with large cities without
horses. As the perceptive 1881 New York Times editorial observed, ‘Deprived
of their human servitors, the horses would quickly perish; deprived of their equine servitors, the human population in cities
... would soon be in straits of distress.’”[iii]
Horse
is bridge, is root splurging through sinew, is a sienna siren strophing the curvatures of an outsourcing periphery sonata,

“Among
the Scythians, when a leader died, his horses were killed & buried with him. The
expectation was that they would be re-animated to serve the dead man in the after life.”
Re-Animation:

black heaves from the stable cuckold-winds toss manefuls kicks & furies prows vertical lavades to erring Jezebels –
converyors of halters grooms stables whips saddles coachmen riding crops all manner of tack rupture annihilative – the
landscape grows cumulous sinewy, voluptuous mares trot from the forest, the black glee grows, pony stallions squeeze from
his monumental shoulders, the de-humanization is vast & good, it is sound, pools of union flutter the tribe, there is
intercourse & pawings ....
Consideration:
&
horse looked unto man & saw that man was puny & would need speed, elevation, & haulers, saw that they could provide
man with horsepower (33,000 foot pounds of work per minute) & great diversion & prove a showpiece & companion
& understood that man could be good & could care for horse & would mitigate a great many perils that might befall
in the wild & horse considered long & mightily & chose man to groom him & feed him & to tutor him in the
dance ... & man undertook horse & prospered & to this day no other animal summons the monies that horse does ....
[i] Eohippus or Hyracotherium, the earliest believed ancestor of the horse. “They
had four toes on their front feet and three toes on their hind feet. Each toe
ended in a separate small hoof. Large, tough pads similar to those on a dog’s
foot kept the toes off the gorund, These pads bore the animal’s weight.” The text is exploring the ancestral telluric sensitivity prior to the padded toe evolving
into the more hardened hoof.
