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
