Fascism?
Do not go gentle into that good night, but rage against the machine that perpetuates the dying of the light

and turn that rage to a scaffold
truly, man was made to mourn

it's what unites us:
to know
in some dark moment
a prisoner has seen the moon
thinking
You cannot contain me:
All one.

They say, "It's too much, if I was the family, I would crave vengeance"

about the murderer allowed to drive to work in Norway

I think about the canoes carved in recompense
for murder at Patrick's Point (CA)

What is the good
When society works together

The tears
They mend

But only if you oppose

You can cross the great fields of grain
You can cry if you want to
Maybe one day they'll label those tears

But no one can stop you

See the setting sun
across the horizon
Dream of a world where dawn stretches fingerlings (potatoes)
down into the soup pot
that feeds a community

Abolish the police

For I am you as you are he, as you are me and we are all together

goo goo g'joob

What else is there to say?
Poo Tee'Weet?

Poo Tee Weeter (Twitter, the mesosphere of the anthropocene) has gone down the shitter that Cory Doctorow so rightly labeled. (enshittified)

But you can walk
your legs
work

The good and the bad intertwine- squash shading beans that grow on the corn that fixes the ground for the squash-
the feet stomp the grapes that turn into wine, those grapes growing heavy for the vintage,
the wine overflows and runs down the street, reminding us all

of agency
of pure comaraderie

Rabbi(e) Burns said it- Man Was Made to Mourn

Why was an independent wish, why was a poor and honest man ever yet born
was there not some recompense for the propensity to mourn

Mangos in summer, strawberries too,
three sisters growing on top of each other
summer days' sunshine lengthening

I came to Taiwan after a soft lockdown- a domino's pizza held at gunpoint- where I, in the bathroom, sat on the floor, on my phone, and thought, "at least the only one I'm responsible for is myself."

My eye was twitching
I was vomiting before work
I did not have the grit
to cope with inhumanity

It's certainly no Brown shooting
Nor the MIT assassination that followed
Nor any number of the thousands of deaths,
the 1.5 metric 9/11's worth of deaths
from freedom the USA holds so dear
nor the police with their knees on the neck of the pulse that drives that freedom

nor the schools

There was a stabbing today in Taipei

No mass shooting

But equally cavalier in the execution of a man who had a heart attack, in shock at seeing such callous disregard

9 now are hospitalized, I hear

And already comments begin- "more control, now!"

Resist fascism everywhere
