Machination
(refractions on Baudrillard; Dedicated to Luigi Ballerini)

Everything is operational, or it is nothing.


No more wanting, only getting people to want
No more doing, only getting people to do
No more being worth something, only getting something to be worth Something
No more knowing, only letting know
No more enjoying, only getting to people to enjoy

No more pleasure, only getting people to take pleasure,


We have lost our shadows
Revealed by the stage light from all angles, ex-
Posed and de-fenceless squinting against the glare
Her images and information unrelenting


This is the price we pay for sex
Why speak when its so easy to communicate
