I praise Capital
and capitalism
because I hate
them
I cannot help
but praise
them

Dead labor
serving and being served
by living labor

Slavery, then racism
scientific but ignorant

Scrooge McDuck's
happy divings in
his pools of golds coins

Marx seeing it all
but only it
capital
vol. 1 I finished
2 & 3 yet to come

In the reading room
of the library in London
at the center
of capital's empire

Genocide, primitive accumulation
ie theft, dispossession, rape, murder
these things we know
or don't

Revolution!
In France
Mexico
Russia!
more places than I can remember or forget
The United Slave States

Blood fire and water
The stench of gunpowder
and the bite of
sharpened steel
in flesh

The struggle
is real

and so is
the failure
capitulation

As late financial capitalism
seeks to conquer the globe
it undoes itself

It poisons and "wins"
hearts & minds
destroying bodies

Global warming, this drought we live in California
and elsewhere, Peak Oil
already peaked, ROEI steadily declining
war and migration
the 21st Century is
terrible and wonderful
I hope we survive

You may have been blessed by the ancient Chinese,
to live in interesting times

I hope we do not survive
I vote Trump
to accelerate human extinction

creeping fascism, call that
an inaccurate name if
you want

neofeudalist futures
call me cynic
agree that we might
all die but we
plants, animals, universe
ecology
will survive

we need revolution
unions, hell even
liberals
betrayal by social democrats
competition or war with fascists
poor Rosa Luxembourg
Germany, 1919

and the horse Rosa Luxembourg
in fiction
you google the reference
or know it already or both
the screen glows with
capital valorizing itself
CIA-backed venture capital
and Larry Paige

You google that too
or did
or used Yahoo!
fuck
which tells you don't be evil
get rich
accidentally be evil
feel good
happy!

lifestyle criticism is sub-reformist
but so am i

the myth that the rich are unhappy is true
everyone is

the truth that the poor!
are happy is true
everyone is

Marx was right!
I yell
You yell
Marx was wrong
We yell
and are all yelling

Both true yells
colliding in emptyquotes
empty air
server rooms
Joey at Intel
I don't even know

Beyond communism
Is where I want to
be
to go
REVOLUTION
and also
EVERYDAY LIFE


happiness
&
misery

i hate to reference
heck i love to reference
t-paine!

no utopia
but every man
is king, poet, player,
capitalist, communist,
body, mind, being
fellow being



DAMN!



the suffering of
all us animals, plants,
the air, soil, together
an ecology of
pain & pleasure

The Dinosaurs
Ruled the Earth

they didn't think
so, only we do
but their great warm lumbering bodies

enjoyed dominion
supported by ferns
heated by a climate


the climate is always
changing, they say,
using truth to deny
falsity
error
waste
extinction
if we let things roll on

but they are right

but not this fast
said the asteroid
who really knows
but the dinosaurs
how it felt to all
die, but not die
be transformed
into soil, water,

BIRDS!

I may love a crested predator dinosaur,
or
drawing of one
name starts with D
found only in one book
and my imagination

but I may never meet one

RARR!
I am a dinosaur

but I got up just now from my desk where I write this for you

CIA NSA Google and whoever else is reading or not reading

went out the back door of my parents house

and listened to
the call of
dinosaurs
and
birds

who are dying and
dead

Revolution!

the Earth spins so
fast that if it stopped
turning it would fling
us, itself
into s p a c e

Extinction!
is Everyday Life!

We are living and
live
