We are the echo

of some distant god's desire

for one to desire.

Subject: [X] Deleuze In The Bathroom



Deleuze
in the bathroom
asked me:

"Why does desire
desire its own repression,
how can it desire
its own repression?"

He was talking about
fascism, but I was thinking
about you, and how
we all become fascists
when we forget the way
to love- "a micropolitics
of insecurity"- and we
start up a little gestapo
running around our hearts
with billy clubs.

Happiness is the sure path
to slipping into emofascism,
all the games people play
to exert control over each other
to reaffirm certainty. "A society
is defined by its lines of flight, 
there is always something
that flows or flees, that escapes
organization."

We love what stays in the border
and if it tries to flee, we send it off
to the Gulag.

We might not ever know.
Love, it's a strange country
filled with fear and prisons,
rules, constantly changing
to serve the purpose of
our hearts and minds,
our love and our ego.

The organizing principle is
loyalty to the state.

But there will be a revolution,
this time.

Every poem is a molotov.
I want to be an anarchist.
I want to rush inside you,
poetry exploding in your chest,
and any pieces that stray
over the border, these stupid
borders, let it be free, this time.

In the quest for so much certainty,
fascism comes to replace trust
when faith has been obliterated.
I need to learn how to let you move
in all directions at once, even if
it's a form of surrender.

Maybe that is anarchy after all:
an eternal surrender to trust.
