could it be my fault<\/em><\/p>\n

I feel like any progress made slowly and painstakingly in the last nine or ten months was just all pissed away in a moment, or …<\/p>\n

That the notion of progress itself was, here, and maybe is, anywhere, mostly made from illusions.<\/p>\n

Could it be that beginning again by stripping oneself of illusion is the only sensible way to go?<\/p>\n

Saint Jackson long ago disagreed, exhorting us to let our illusions last until they Shatter. <\/p>\n

I am always telling you
\nThat I am telling you the truth–
\nIs Skatingaway illusory?<\/p>\n

I am nevernot
\ncrafting a narrative, nevernot intoning
\nto myself a story
\nsometimes out loud where you can hear.<\/p>\n

Sometimes they are more like “Things From The Grocery” or “First Steps In Fixing Up A Truck”
\nand other times they are more like “The Cat’s Name is Leftpaw Meadows” or Aztec Strategery. <\/p>\n

The important parts are whether or not they contain illusions (and if so what kind), and whether they lend themselves to essaying:<\/p>\n

essay (n.)
\n1590s, “trial, attempt, endeavor”
\n(also “short, discursive literary composition” as in Bacon and Montaigne)<\/p>\n

from French essai, from Late Latin exagium “a weighing, a weight,”
\nfrom Latin exigere “drive out; require, exact; examine, try, test,”
\nfrom PIE root *ag- “to drive, draw out or forth, move”) <\/p>\n

Whether they contain weight and whether it’s the measurable kind or some other.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They want to have a war
\nto keep their factories<\/p>\n

They want to have a war
\nto keep us on our knees<\/p>\n

They want to have a war
\nto stop us losing to Chinese<\/p>\n

They want to have a war
\nto stop industrial disease<\/p>\n

They’re pointing out their enemy
\nto keep you deaf and blind<\/p>\n

They want to sap your energy <\/p>\n

incarcerate
\nyour mind<\/p>\n

Yet it’s no use saying that you don’t know nothing
\nIt’s still gonna get you if you don’t do something
\nSitting on a fence, well that’s a dangerous course
\nYou could even catch a bullet from the peace-keeping force<\/p>\n

Mother Mary your children are slaughtered
\nSome of you mothers ought to lock up your daughters<\/p>\n

Who’s protecting the innocents?
\nHeap big trouble in the land of plenty<\/em><\/p>\n

Tell me how we’re gonna do what’s best, you guess<\/a>
\nonce upon a time in the west<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

The insurgency began
\nand you missed it<\/p>\n

I looked for it
\nand I found it<\/p>\n

So begin again like MartinLuther Zen
\nThe mythology begins the begin<\/p>\n

Answer me a question I can\u2019t itemize
\nI can\u2019t think clear <\/p>\n

Look to me for reason, it’s not there
\nCan’t even rhyme <\/p>\n

in the begin
\n(she don\u2019t know what it means)<\/p>\n

He don’t know what he’s doing<\/a><\/p>\n
