According to Jacques
this poem is not original.
Familiar sensations:
dull blue window screen
rounded black keys
coffee wafting
are power enough to penetrate
physical sensors.
Gooey antibodies,
salves in wounds.
The self mirrored in brown eyes.
These are poetic dynamos.
The slink from bed
the work to pay the bill
beauty to thought to arm to hand to fingers to keys to screen
these the breezes to word sails.
To act or not to act,
is the real question.
Tasting the bitter rubber of eraser
hearing the scratch of lead on pulp
kills the tyrant,
punishes the betrayer.
Dare to die, Derrida.
