what if those future monsters are also your children and grandchildren

and we will leave our screen-lit burrows blinking with relief / the future is an embellished version of the recent past / flying in doctors and equipment / A sense of fragility is everywhere / streets will fill again / and the belief that this crisis can be solved by an unprecedented outbreak of international cooperation is magical thinking in its purest form ✨turning the planet into a garbage dump It is not only society that feels shaky. So does the human position in the world / it is not only authoritarian regimes that can build hospitals in two weeks. Inhuman beauty and a fierce struggle for life an apocalypse is the normal course of history / Life goes on /  
What was wrong about cultivating insecurity?
dating may consist of erotic exchanges that never end in a meeting of bodies to simulate fleshly encounters and virtual sex / “borders” are more or less porous This is where the protective state comes in / Clearing the mind of clutter and thinking / rapidly transformed our values, and caused a surreal shift in time and space / Even though our instincts and political leaders might be saying otherwise Such bold transnational action can be imitated in other areasreports have a similar conspiratorial and unsubstantiated ring to them idea that power is not good or bad in itself, but that it is always dangerous 
What about those who do not have our society structurally relies on the incessant production of differential vulnerability / to be considered “care workers”? /
We have lost our ability to cherish each other / and countless generations yet to come / how to best deal with the immense pressure and anxiety

and I can remember how that felt

 

and I can remember how that felt

first response was to seal off all reports and to deny that a problem existed /

and I can remember how that felt

they had been sentenced, for an unknown crime, to an indeterminate period of punishment / while global attention is largely focusing on the active physical treatment

and you are still like free birds who never learned to fly

(...) zu einer Welt ohne Landschaften, zu Büchern ohne Seiten, zu Wüsten. 

 

where is that utopia i was hoping for?

(I live in a peaceful country

I have sex with machines while others get killed by them)

I am an observer and I am guilty as the rest of you.

I don't know what is right or wrong. it is the result of living in an unstable world.

 

it is also my quality.

Was ist das für ein Apparat 

Er heißt Organ

Er schöpft seinen Inhalt aus der Wand

Da hat die Industrie geschossen

Wenn die Wände Körper hätten

ein hilfloses Klopfen


one last war and then
one last war again

ein Konflikt niederer Intensität

non-violent touch

I do fall in love on a regular basis

they will dance an infinite choeography: a repetative loop of desire and loss until there is no blood left in the world until all has dried out and everyone is a shallow corpse

and when the world did fall apart I
looked you in the eye and saw
that we were all the same

and saw how selfish I've been

 

how does it feel to have my name
carved onto your skin?
