intristic experience (one of many)

:: the clash of ideologies/regardless of what they would have you think/can be as beautiful as it is violent/and as revolutionary as it is regulated ::

:: right when the chaos will surely overtake the establishment/surely crush your creative complex/surely turn your dreams to dust/calmly draw your spirit over again/for refreshment is coming ::

:: perhaps wisdom comes/not from the assurance of one's own knowledge/but a recognition of life's infinite complexities :

Words from the mind of:
Sophie Creutz, Evanston, Illinois


grey shadows slipping, slide

along movement following the

endless motion of my tangled thoughts, taut muscles flexing

ceaselessly leaving nothing but ruthless apprehension,

judgment, distance, and disdain.

——————————-

refrain, rephrase….

the distinction between perception and reality clears slightly,

allowing for patience

————————————

if the location between reason and wisdom is as far from perception

as dreams are from waking….

then what is the shape of that space?

—————————-

If I could wait

any length of time

for repetition:

INSURGENCY III. Mechanizations of Destruction

Fiendish and fearless, harken and blaze!
Our wheels of fury shall usher the haze!
What creature or mystic shall befall our storm,
Of endless percussion and limitless form!

We brothers of murder and deceit and of spite,
Live ceaselessly chasing the call of the fight!
Our mission to invoke the fury and rage,
Shall burn every building and cleanse every page!

What purpose have calmness and nature and peace?
Such weakness shall crumble under fire and grease!
Their scholars and children and women and homes,
Shall shatter in body and suffer in bones!

INSURGENCY II. The Earth Cries in Warning

Peace, peace shall not prevail!
We are the trees and the grass.
Our souls are not used to the noise.

A beast of artificial design,
The most unnatural and murderous,
Crawls across our lonely plain.

The shades of panic grow within us.
They sprint for the great city!
The most unnatural pulses spurn.

An anthem of destruction beckons.
Syncopation and articulation growl.
Our peace starts to mutate and bend.

The people of the Gothic city!
What untold crime shall they bear!
What shame the grass cannot forewarn!

INSURGENCY I. The Winged One Awakes

I am the spirit of nature.
Carefree and complacent,
I sleep in my earthly domicile.

The branches of my tree stir.
The aura of the night is disturbed.
Surely a nightmare flitters by.

But the pulsations of the earth
And the demon in the distance
Will not bid me my usual silence.

The wings of my unspoken fear,
At first drunken with sleepiness,
Begin to shift like a heartbeat.

My voice shall not silence.
The Mechanizations are coming.
I know not but to shriek in confusion.

Creatures of the city and the earth!
Creatures of the night and the sky!
Gather in my panic and in my pain!

The denizens of the great city
Lie asleep in their gentle beds,
With I the sole messenger to tell.

The Organic Elegy

to CA

The warm whispers
of the fingertips:

Their cultivated form lay
forever and now silent,
So the song would seem.

Betrayal is wrapped up
In the leaves of the damned
And the careless.

An inconceivable wilt
In the flower of her soul-
Visible to all who see.

Yet, unfurling from
This tangled nest of organics
Lies a remarkable seed.

What remains to be seen
Is the tempo of the weather
And the fervor of the germ.

Ideal conditions for a bloom-
No such season known before,
Hearkens to the soil underneath.

Believe it or not,
The Sun will rise again.

Five Postcards

1.
Listen.
NOW THAT COMMUNISM IS DEAD
MY LIFE FEELS EMPTY!
(on a continuous basis)
Art for art's sake. at some point
All of those things became so
Strange. My desire was always to
Contaminate
Because it got to the point where
You could not represent
Anything. 
Nationalist references,
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
never try to judge things.

II.
Politics and the Arts!
Unlock the mysteries of
Counter-revolutionary
Adulteration, 
PROGRESS,
and skullduggery
(classes are in session 24/7)

III.
SEVEN NEW DEADLY SINS:
conservatism
Publicity
Debates
Tribalism
Democratic consultation
Poetic truth
Parody

Government's response to it:
a free society.

IV.
Intolerant Tolerance!
"You can't be serious."
wisdom required a protagonist
That attempts to bridge the
Gulf between

The desire for autonomy

And the reality of LAW

And the promises of empathy.

V.
Personal identification (of America)
Get Connected.
We are pleased to announce that
Emotional Reactivity
Summarizes the demographic
And physical health-related
Characteristics of 
THE RESPONSE TO DEATH AND DYING
among student neuroticism
