85. And Where We’re to at Being, Then

As the possibilities for capital’s expansion of profit shrivel

Through fraud, rivalry & the running out of all resources

One above all remains – the mass of population. Sell them

Into slavery again & again

Each time let them pay the price for themselves in full. Let

Every expectation be removed of how we can escape this.

This is the end of history as the few crush us all. They’ll

Falter incapably.

Each ripped tendril of our shared humanity unshared will shrivel.

Our future drifts en masse across rubble & filthy silt, resource

-less in every sense: small-scale coteries of Sawney Beanes them

-selves lost for ever again.

And again. Can we think or act how to get out of this utter abjection?

Rioting & burning are only the beginning, the need to refuse & probably kill

Every gated development, public school, private clinic & financial instrument

Until burning, burning, burning

      the rawness of our wounds

      still stabbing, stories

      of resistance in the borderlands

      only together

      only a part, this part

      of what must be opened

      the true book

      of our final history

      which shall otherwise

      remain unwritten ever.
