Seattle (Elegy of Fractured Personhood) |
| ELEGY OF FRACTURED PERSONHOOD / FLAGRANT LOCALISM |
| I am sitting in seattle |
| Just waiting to bear fruit |
| Ripped from my insides |
| Or mangled at the root |
| And everybody’s waiting |
| For someone else to save them |
| Do you really need that patronage |
| Dingy hospital doors open |
| Faster than the DIY gates |
| Riding on the backs of knights |
| Of the apocalypse |
| And we are all waiting for |
| Some kind of revelation |
| To be emblazoned; |
| Xs on our hands and Ss on our chest |
| And we’re all getting older |
| Not necessarily better |
| Reflections of our footsteps |
| Passing through voyeurs in our palms |
| And we are all stooped over |
| Contorted bodies waiting |
| Ripe for untangling |
| Or anxiously keeling over |
| If we’re all just waiting |
| To be harnessed in the mainframe |
| Will we ultimately be left |
| Sputtered on the ground? |
| If our hierarchy of needs |
| Is simply fractured or inverted |
| How many weeks |
| Can we spend starving in the streets |
| And if we’re all just waiting |
| Already underground |
| How many years will it take |
| To be raised from the dead |
| Our souls all manifested |
| In perfect equilibrium |
| I guess that’s why hegel’s |
| Just a hack |
| Screaming and insinuating |
| Might just breed metamorphosis |
| If we don’t end up as cybernetic vermin |
| Are you a partial person |
| Who’s just so sick of waiting |
| Or are you meant to be somebody else |
| And I am still thinking |
| About how things went last night |
| Which matrices or rubrics |
| Might apply |
| And how you really just can’t |
| Break new ground when there’s pavement |
| You need to plant your seeds |
| In fertile ground |
