"The post-historical period in which aesthetics become what only theory can determine has turned out to be another period in history, another finite chapter in the narrative that gets tiresome at times but never ends."

"recusatio"

the merry prank rolls on
or generational curse
as loss upon swift loss
overflows the urn—
world plated on a terrapin

tornado-warned, we dine
on just-downed albatross
wary of knocks from ICE,
frogs fallen on the lawn
world plated on a terrapin

& it's to you i sing
O turtle of our crunch
ignore vast monkey wrench
our great wheel of dung
world plated on a terrapin

a little longer wobble
as i creep t'ward dust
no poet of holocaust
but daedalist of bubble
world plated on a terrapin

sober as lidless judge
the canteen's out of ether
this spectacle takes another
sort to clock its siege
world plated on a terrapin

i only will joke & whine
& parse shades of giving up
fell squibs of queasy stripe
or even waxwing pun

worldplay to don a terror pen

Be hard like Avvakum.

"I wonder if there is a 'Tao of Polycrisis' where no crisis is ever confronted and resolved. Rather, the ever-renewing crises gently compost the older crises, which fade from awareness, because their victims are mostly dead" —@bruces.bsky.social
