in defense of adventure

"Adventure is just bad planning." - Roald Amundsen

"Adventurism: the heretical notion that you should actually have fun when doing something." - Rolling Thunder, vol 10

it is said
there should be no
adventure

no surprises
push for
consistency

no unknowns
value stability

see it
hear it
from mouths
i like having a routine

of course it looks
common
it looks
normal

to want
a nice & settled life
pasturized
occupied
as both in busy & oppressed

because
anyone who wants adventure
has been killed
jailed
outlawed
exiled

fig18a the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls/ and tenement halls

our society
wants to sell
sensation of adventure
to stimulate
the innate human need
without letting it
get out of hand

catharsis

enabling you to stir
orgasm relax &
work again

art
which may have once served
a purpose altogether different
is now media
& masturbation
of the adventure instinct

we did not get here
by staying
at home

explore.

yours for the revolution
forbidden books
