This was in the white of the year.
In winter, in my room,
I read my sentence steadily.
’Twas just this time last year I died.
A death-blow is a life-blow to some
If pain for peace prepares.

Heterogenous flows of philosophers influenced by the New Deal,
prostitution rings, bisexual states, Markov chains, linguistic
superstructures, feedback loops & Blessed Virgins allow the
production of art with a bureaucratic soul.
It is not a sign of revolution when the oppressed adopt the manners of
the oppressors and practice oppression on their own behalf.
Destroy, destroy.

Twilight After Haying, by Jane Kenyon
Jesus, carrying what looks like a dead woman,
the exhausted body of Greta Garbo,
uses one hand to splay her sex,
small holes at the corners left by pins
from numerous previous exhibitions.
Love is not this burden of images.
It is about the skin of a surface,
the trace of the human touch.
Here there are stains, there you find
a shelf that starts with a folder
labeled “Heaven, Paradise,”
and ends with empty canvases.

It was snowing At the sight of blackbirds
When the blackbird flew out of sight Why do you imagine golden birds?
Among twenty snowy mountains.

XV Once, a fear pierced him:
I was of three minds Traced in the shadow
In which there are three blackbirds Of one of many circles
And lucid, inescapable rhythms . . . Was the eye of the blackbird.
The beauty of inflections.
XXI
XVI The river is moving
The blackbird whirled in the autumn For blackbirds —
winds. An indecipherable cause.
But I know, too,
The blackbird sat XXII
In the cedar limbs. It was evening all afternoon.
Icicles filled the long window
XVII And it was going to snow.
A man and a woman. The blackbird must be flying.
A man and a woman and a blackbird.
XVIII
I do not know which to prefer,
The shadow of the blackbird
Or the beauty of innuendoes.

Finally I could connect my nervous system to the global economy.
We were raised to believe that if we worked hard and passed all the exams, ev-
erything would be all right.
There are lots of ways to get fired and there are lots of ways to get laid off, the
distinction being that getting fired is directly about you and getting laid off
is purportedly first about your position.
Up until recently the work has mostly just been leveling the ground, etc.
Then things began to really come together around that.
Sometimes doing nothing is the most violent thing to do.
