soften. take pull drag kick and scream yourself to the edge hesitate hold your breath draw up plans and walk away. end things when you’re unhappy self-medicate stop selling ideologies you don’t believe in disavow your leaders and refuse to find new ones. no more newspapers no more Menshevism no more compromises never negotiate your existence take unreasonable stances when necessary. state your intentions. lie. tear open the ground below yellow teeth bared will fall falling fallen land on hard stone break Adam’s other ribs kick him and cry. shave apples cut faces wash yourself put on sacred clothes hole ridden hoodie beer crusted jeans obscure punk band shirt more fag stain than cloth. roll lavender tea rose chamomile lemon balm crushed up hold it to your lips but never light never feel on tongue never breathe never taste sour bitter woody ashysweet pungent grey brown dark and purple. write deep heartfelt letters to dead poets burn them and dance deep in the forest only smoke in special places with people you love. curl your hair feel beautiful hate beauty cut it off: regrow until waist length. the revolution will not be is not being was never televised. suffering is silent. learn to despise your heroes this is an era of collapse begin to unravel. reject accelerationism. hoard stolen flowers rings and tablets submerge stems vases litter mantles. open up sunlight streams in empty room full of fragments broken windows pieced together collect reuse and resell. unbecome. never be useful if you can help it. make notes for a poem. never write a word. the ritual is now complete.
