TWO GREAT PIECES OF MUSIC BOOKENDING AN EHH PIECE OF POETRY

Introduction
Con/Jur/d, 5/5/2025

By this, you mean introduce ourselves?
Yes? Yes, why does that make us

UNCOMFORTABLE?

For a little why, we didn’t understand
what privilege meant, this great

UNKNOWN

at the center, this miraculous Mystery
we all have it, don’t we? Is it easy to

UNDO

UNMAKE?

Yes, yes it is. By the gaze of judgment, by
belief of the personal  as always

UNIVERSAL

infinite, when we say, our name is, or, we did
this or that, we limit, put guardrails on the

UNTAMABLE

abyss. Privilege, is your ability to express this
without the HUFFing PUFFing imposition by 
                                              others and their
                                               nightmare ideations
                                              building cliff’s edge
                                               palaces, crumbling
                                              Infrastructures, piled

high         higher still       the sand                  shifts



You, remain the infinite plain just beyond their silly
walls of their performative, theatrical security
secured via barbed wire, bubblegum
and plastic coke, pepsi, off brand bottles
pews, and guns -- so many guns
while you recede off into the distance
a lush event horizon, teeming with a life

UNNAMED.

What about the opening salvo? THE TETHERED LINE?

After a night of first-night-at camp dreams — returning to an almost familiar San Francisco — everytime we awoke and went back in on the hard bunk bed mattress and the too silent night — read Michelle Lhooq’s Rave New World

DOING POPPERS AT BRUTALISMUS 3000

MICHELLE LHOOQ — IS A GENIUS — SHE CAPTURES PARTY CULTURE IN A WAY THAT ANYONE WHO’S EVER BEEN THERE — “back when you were first discovering how rolling three pills deep at a concert or whatever could collapse the polite distance between strangers into an easy intimacy” — WILL GET — THE POEM ABOVE IS INSPIRED MORE BY HER EASY DESCRIPTORS OF THE INSIDE THAN THE SONGS OF RESONANCE IT WAS BRACKETED BY

THERE WE ARE — CAMP HAIR — BLUE BEARD — DANCING TO BRUTALIST TECHNO — THE CONTRADICTION WAS EXQUISITE

OFF TO DO SOME SERIOUSNESSES (yes — dance is resistance — and Goodye Salò refers to this: Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom and the murder of Pasolini )

Much love,
