Wonderful and hysterical. Made my Sunday. Thanks!
“There is no way
possible to be innocent of this.”
With decorum virtualized, style is up for grabs (a window play).
The need (the inability to resist) retaliation is disheartening. I really
don’t like to see what can be done (in this sense of newness of the online
culture, I feel an inordinate amount of insincerity on my part – am I the
only one?). “Live” (as opposed to “digital”) I would let humor untie the
tensions or dissolve the ad hominem, refocusing on the ping and pong of
shared investigation.

The heavy elements melt into air
by abrupt sublimation. Call this the slow-burning
nuclear option, pre-emptive retaliation:
vapour against vapour, noisome gusts
of marsh gas met with purifying fragrance
of canned aerosol. Temper the brittle,
brutal, protocols of enforcement
with spectacular diversions, briefings
against the long agonies of war by any
and every other name. There is no way
possible to be innocent of this. Metastases
of fascist jouissance settle in every bowel.
Bright tumours swell inanely over cities.

It is literally the case that this maternity ward
is given to the manufacture
of biological agents: weapons of mass
destruction, potentially; palpating
cultures of fatal tissue, fit targets
for surgical ordnance. By such
discriminate means, see noxious Arab-
Semitic flesh and blood scraped
from the earth's crust. Unborn and unnamed
or raised on the black milk of quotidian
politic deprivation - destined in any case
to sanctioned obliteration, invisible
even before their final disappearance.
