poetic reflections #1

Jon Nakapalau

perhaps the 'zombification' of pop culture is the extreme reflection of terminal objectification of the 'other' - 

- once dead all categorical differences 'die' with who that person 'was.' - 

- 'we' are able to justify 'our' extreme violence (which is framed in the context of our survival) - 

- and 'they' no longer have a say in a world where the dead out number the living - 

- which could be called the "Stygian Flood" because the dead wash back to the shore of the living - 

- or perhaps "The Macbethian Dam Breaks" where all torrents of blood rise above the waist - 

- ultimately it may just be our collective desire - 

- When Love Runs High - 

- only for those who were loved before - 

- "Après nous le déluge."
