TISSUE
A HIGHLY COMPLICATED CRESCENT OF TISSUE
curls around the centre of the brain the striatum some
call it the villain desire central commander of the
dopamine-pump human cocaine crashing through veins
we share these deeply wrapped parts of the brain with lower
animals going all the way back to fish
desire the cry of a soul calling for attention obliquely but
obstinately pursuing what it hungers for like an iceberg
laying in wait in the depths of the collective power mammon
sex world domination a blind guide commandeering the self
tests with rodents have confirmed much of this who is with us?
who is against us? kill what we fear this week in kinjia india
villagers dragged 5 women witches out of their homes +beat them
to death with iron rods 50 people were arrested
Once the desire circuitry is lit up it becomes more+more difficult to
find the off switch until there isn’t one amok abounds a child sized
robot is left for dead in a philly gutter leading to an outpouring of grief
while human children are not safe in yards laneways certain schools +
choirs the earth means something different now
