An Ideology of Shock

An Ideology of Shock

Fantasies occlude, and block: they seek

an ideology of shock – rude systems

to insure a thrill no matter what must

.

be endured: that we can make the face

of anything sublime if we would only,

for example, just imagine ourselves

.

free of space and time. Fantasies fester –

promising a meltdown: dangerous

in prospect but benignant in effect –

.

at least until we help them splay into

the wreck of actuality. Maybe radio-

activity is what it’s all about: to twist

.

and shout and act our toxic natures out.

Please understand it’s for your good

as well as mine to take my hand and do

.

just what I want. Look me in the eye.

Don’t behave. Ask wassup. Be my slave.

When we’re done, we’ll clean it up.
