If such a sublime cyborg
would insinuate the future as post-Fordist subject,
his palpably
masochistic locations
as ecstatic agent
of the sublime superstate
need to be decoded as the “now
-all-but-unreadable DNA”
of a fast deindustrializing Detroit
just as his Robocop-like strategy
of carceral negotiation and street
control
remains the tirelessly
American one
of inflicting regeneration through violence
upon the racially heteroglossic
wilds and others
of the inner city.
Since thought is seen
to be “rhizomatic” rather than “arboreal,”
the movement of differentiation and becoming
is already
imbued
with its own positive trajectory.
To this end, I must
underline the phallicism
endemic to
the dialectics of penetration
routinely
deployed
in descriptions of pictorial
space
and the operations
of spectatorship.
This was the account
I had
from the priests
about the arrival of Helen
at Proteus’ court,
when one of foreign speech casts a papyrus yoke upon the sea,
bethink you to keep
the bleating goats far from
In order to avoid confusion here,
it should be noted
that it is of course true
that in any given instance
of pain, there may
actually be present a weapon
(the hammer may really be there)
or wound, but
these things are referential;
consequently we often call on them to convey the experience of the pain itself.
You see: When they
asked him to write laws for them,
he refused
on the grounds
that the city had already been
mastered by a wicked constitution.
He retired
into the temple and played
dice with the children.
The first thing
to have been harmonized,
the One
in the middle of the sphere,
is called the hearth.
