call for cartographers & treasure-hunters

but books
my friend said to me
after reading
my last post
youre encouraging
dangerous behavior

people get hurt
lost
worse

you have to understand
risks

& fact is
can't control them all
have to inoculate
in a sense
cuz eventually

you encounter your ocp
outside context problem

then its tits up anyway
you slice it

you want it sooner
or later
you wanna stay home
watch tv die of sloth

fig19a THOSE WOLF MECHANICS BANGING THOSE WOLF MECHANICS CRASHING

or like our common ancestors
get lost
make maps
pioneer
encounter
grow

& yeah yeah
whole world is mapped
they say
spinny satellites
& robot cars

but those arent your maps
arent our maps

when was the last time
you drew a map
elementary school
middle school
highschool
college

ever

you have a mental one
in your head for
crying out loud
its never come out

has the world
ever
had the pleasure
of seeing its topography
in your eyes
like the portrait
of a lover
or a poem

or do you fear
the laws & guardians
sheepdogs

fig19b dont disregard the discarded


do you miss
the secret scavenged treasures
hiding in the pavement cracks
& alleyways

accepting only what is safe
sanitized
lifeless

you cannot have an identity
when you are taking
dictation
in the form of goods
services
lifestyles

it is dangerous
to be
human

yours for the revolution
forbidden books
