My Greatest Joy is Everything



Tribalism is one problem that people on this planet face
It's one of the things that we have to deal with
One of the surviving survivalist myths
The same war that 'walked through Jerusalem' walked through you
It had a rhythm section, a secret interior, a point of view that didn't suppress demonstration
We can, learn how to fight and forget how to fight at the same time, in a stranger's bed
If we look at conflict as performance, and at performance as ritual, that which gives things their form(again, and again) (What if I'm on the wrong streetcar named–) If I were a war I'd be yours and you'd be losing to your own troop of half-stepping familiars (the ones who know how to raid a kitchen and leave hungry), Not because you don't know how to fight, but you don't know how to forget right
