Absolutisation

words that drift over unconscious bodies bodies spread over deserted cities signifying the big dents beside the targeted marks marks swallowed by irresponsible sharks a confidence that steals intellect and reason a confidence glorified by the applause of hypnotized beasts beasts in feasts yet a confidence in starvation mythical assertions of heights impossible as possible and in the temporary warmth shouting even louder louder and harder in itself a depiction of an arrogance that is repugnant this recourse to incessant theory robes practice of its essence giving practice the cateblanche to re-assert itself forcefully on a higher platform where this stupid arrogance is deemed obsolete these dogmas reflect an epoch already passed and their re-instatement in this epoch reduces the value of our history
