Crisis
The commodification of sadness
Creates a complexity of response
In a capitalist society that cannot
Understand its own trauma.
The calamity of the contemporary moment
Causes the effect of curating only
A crucifixion of the simulacra
That clamour on the cusp of spectacle.
Contemporary minds and current
Cohesions between what counts as
Curable catastrophe and crumbling apocalypse
Cultivate only a condition of change.
A crisis.
That’s all.
