Enough with these technologies of control!
Enough with this productivism,
enough with the guilts of social knowledge;
I want to have an exuberant party,
somewhere I can be just a loving mess.
but Enough too
with the gilts of mechanical knowledge,
enough with negawhiggish survivalism
with becoming geodesic goats,
with welding fiddling desert sculptures
while home burns.
I want to enjoy knowledge, to encounter
disagreement and coalition, to make
ideas mean something,
not form a pyre of privilege.
and Enough of these ticks of salve and desperate search,
enough of these escalator pratfalls;
what's left? what's next?
