  “if all property is theft then all intellectual property is detournement” –M Wark

Sworn to silence

I have become the unfriendly ghost

gone to swim with the fishes

to protect the capsized dream

Ballast inverted

to write down the terrific

facts which appear thrice

first as tragedy (where are we?)

then as farce & finally 

behind our backs 

as intellectual property

What we value is self-abolition 

camouflaged & crossed out

when we danced against ourselves

learning to move elsewhere

against weaponized clouds

against the abrogation of treaties

Geneva 1977, Seattle 1865

against mud on the Ho Chi Minh Trail

we danced to impede the flow of bodies

against the sign that said

be the algorithm you want to be

This mission should you choose to accept it

Salt dropped from sky

to counter intelligent fog

transparent yet sworn to silence
