"We sometimes behave as though people can't express themselves. In fact, though, theyr're always expressing themselves....
... the problem is no longer getting people to express themselves, but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say. Repressive forces don't stop people from expressing themselves, but rather, force them to express themselves. What a relief to have nothing to say, the right to say nothing, because only then is there a chance of framing the rare, or even the rarer, the thing that might be worth saying.
Deleuze - Mediators
there's always more deaths than
you can count
or recall
recalling counts
uncountable
deaths untold
births never known
which Saint hung her head
crying in the places
not far from where you live
love and die,
in your birth of death and love...
and these strangers passes to your life
life and death
who deaded of oxygen shortage
in which hospital be ce soir
what death was that they bolded out tonight
tonight when you are so alone?
November 22 who died and who did not die, who
was born,
or
hit by a car
was loved not loved
caressed not caress scared and not scared and ran
what species of man did this to scare a child, a world
being born
in its awkward night
what dramaturgy ended the world?
Old Jack London alcoholic writer.... Reading White Fang in High School I finished the book way ahead of other pupils ... problem was we read aloud so whenever my turn came I had to flip back and find where the rest of the class...
How many thousands of unknowns died today
or will have love this night
in their bodies and arms,
how many guns and bombs fired
off by Armies Armie and Armie
endless never ending armies...
jets jets jets
jet cruise missile
Who counts those tortured and strangled today?
Who cares of dead presidents in the past
How about that kid kidnapped abandonded
neglected
the lover unwanted....
how many deaths in how many places...

make this
your secret hall of
fame and acclaim and
aclaim not worked for but given
to your loves
your breaths
a wreath around your neck
a heart around your heart
She said I was so downhearted then
announcing now the fact of her birth
and years gone by was 15
she was sweeter than hay
cuter than honey
