“If we don’t succeed, we run a grave risk of failure.“
–United States Vice President, J. Danforth Quayle (1988-1992)
Leader: In the rising oily shadow, a curtain…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: In the ceaseless sound of mechanical hammering; in crazy lane changes, erratic, erratic…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: In movement’s excuse for movement, and things made for no reason…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: In the trademarking of experience…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: In the electronic invocation of unfulfilled and strange desires…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: Nameless urges realized only in the exchange of coin…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: In associations of words aimed to ensnare…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: Empty as snows falling in still air—a silken shroud over the corpus…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: The sound of voices repeating
“mistakes were made, mistakes were made…”
—a vehicle for nothing—
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: In moving the chain from one leg to the other…
The People: This is an example, nothing more.
Leader: In repetition of familiar error florescent in video;
In law libraries where agendas come and go;
In the dance of military hardware;
In the shuffle of leather on imported carpet;
In the stately rhythm, hungrily weaving;
In the music, the soft, soft professional music, soothing, soothing…
The People: These all, all are examples, nothing more.
