Cacophony – political commentary on current events
I haven’t posted direct political commentary on current events on this blog (saved it for Implied Spaces). The references often slide in either by accident/synchronicity through Dadaist Translation and Word Collage, or a spontaneous stream of conscious association during composing the text. But as I sit here in the room, while a heavy snowstorm (Environment Canada issued an Orange Alert -accumulations 40 to 80 cm. ) encompasses Elliot Lake and surrounding area, my mind inevitably drifts to global crisis and national threats. It is exhausting. Very exhausting. It is difficult not to be exhausted/overwhelmed with the tumult of ever continuing news releases, as the United States is consumed in a cacophony of societal and political chaos.
‘The old world is dying, the new is long-overdue; in this dark interval, monsters are spawned.’ Antonio Gramsci, Prison Notebooks (c. 1930)
The Trump tariffs, threats against Canada’s sovereignty, and the violence and the terror of the ICE activity were bad enough – the American bred chaos has now metastasized into a “Not-a-War” excursion into the Middle East; the Washington-Knesset Iranian war, just another ill-conceived military gangrene to rot the global order. This time global order is being clawed and chewed by disorder, and the outcome will be a rewiring of the global geopolitical ecosystem. Just show those fretful lefty snowflake liberals what-for – manly men do manly things, Ka-Boom & Pow to You. So much winning, everyone is tired of it. Yes, we’re all very, very tired of it.
Where have all the naps gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the naps gone
Long time ago?
Where have all the naps gone?
The girls have awakened everyone
Oh, when will you ever yawn?

“And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the American eagle put its talons on any other land.”
I consider the next paragraph – munching on an apple, my thoughts crunch and crack, fragmented with association, memories, and observations. The universe’s structure is ruled by ironism. They say God does not pay back in money – God is an ironist. It is the United States of America’s 250th birthday this year – the Revolutionary War began with customs duties (tariffs) levied in American ports to help pay the huge debt incurred by the British Empire over the Seven Years’ War (Wars, like other Mass Media, have Business Interest$). George III was called a mad king, the cause of his condition continues to be disputed, perhaps arsenic, it could have been a component of medicines or cosmetics (Tanning Spray or self-medication?), or some underlying psychological condition. Echoes and allusions to history – the past is prologue or is a reflection of the present? In the words of Doctor Who, Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey.
Eugene Debs (1855-1926) American Socialist activist and Trade Unionist speaking in Canton, Ohio, in 1918 where he denounced American involvement in the First World War.
Asemic Postcard 290: sent from the burning fog of war
Waves of Shakespearean soubrettes move with light, causing invisible changes in space-time prosody incursions. Computer calibration eliminated the influence of external gravity on individual trees, parakeets’ paradoxical pornography of politics, excursions in bombast and untruths. Just trees, land, and lakes. Experience. But trees, earth, water, sunlight, tree strength, and time are a system, an unknown measure of the cat, not the energy of the situation, but step by step with the same will. Mal^i’qk, there, step by step with the same determination. Forget experience and release your energy. The endless jungle outside is a light gravitational wave. Everyday beetles reach tropical consciousness and destroy potato dream-talkers. Waves, and weathered words, can change the evolution of weird wandering encumbered clothing and aetheric apocryphal asyndeton. Can you send trees to a job with such accommodations? They melt in hotels! They come from tropical plant pandemonium – no man’s enemy, forgiving all, it’s negative inversion being prodigal. Cats love the smell of clothes in cloisters’ shadows, as shades sing beyond the genius of the sea’s sky. When their days on Earth end, the sky celebrates another day, but they haven’t arrived yet. Helios just arrived at Mount Diane. Don’t forget. The properties of matter and energy are based on recast geometry of galliambics – exist in unknown dimensions beyond the infinity of the nature of sestina strudel. The situation of spectres can change as needed – so, waiting, in the grass now lie, beneath the languor of fading light, call to forms and substances rising from the penny arcades of war. The calliope of missile drones sing with the cries of children and the tears of mothers.
Asemic Tarot 256
A handsome, hairy black mane –
a mixture of candy and brown sugar
orange peels in candle-light
There was no church road, no broken song, no spiritual guidance, no revealed song, no prophecy. Everything washed over the spirit. The clues were a dark path pointing to hidden turns, a tree with saving power, a flower garden, a vase, an iron hand, oil, clothes and bones that rise above a sword, a knife, a pistol, a hair – a precious little book made from a mirror hides all, and that book was a tapestry tree, boughs full of sighs and prayers.
