The Acoustics of a Coup v. XI


She said, 'Let them bear witness to the process by which the living transform the dead into partners in struggle,' but when we speak of the ghosts of songs, we do not mean to connote irreality. We refute time as being somewhere else, and while we are at it we refute history as a matter of generations. 'The check is not coming in, it is in.' Ghosts are the mode of life proper to the event, proper to seizing that which has seized and broken us for so long. I meant to say, we only use the word 'refute' for lack of proper darts, radicality needs to be self-authorized outside of resistance, it is a skin faster than words. Subtract, subtract.
