Wicked Attraction
Preface
I’ve conjured a vision of the grotesque,
of morbid fascination with violence,
and the aestheticization of war.
Indulge in hallucinations from the bourgeois cosmos,
of bazaars and mosques gripped by faith and mistrust,
of desert movements encumbered by tradition and hashish.
Around the fulcrum of 9/11 revolve the paranoid projections of agency.
The second act must be swallowed as a savage pill.
(Concentrate on ferocity.) Here is resentment,
self-harm, and reconnaissance as rhythm and sound.
Finally an endless dismal wail
collecting all the old shit.
Does anything happen?
Meditate in dread.
Regret and transformation is
the mystic desire to repeat the 21st century.
At the limits of exhaustion comes apocalyptic redemption,
a coda to wake the dead and enlist them anew.
