A social ironist goes public
Sterling Lynch
Moments are not made in experience; they are made in memory.
In the activity of motioned life, time's utility is the
fabrication of a return-sense concerning the already done. A
counterfeit repose can be made of the on-going motion, by
casting a backward embrace to thought-points that do not
exist without such an embrace. The counterfeit repose held
here is enough to make a moment of the already done. The
activity of our little men of state is good cause for
return.
Twenty-three seconds cannot think much less moment make, but
in reposed motion a form can be conceived. A question worth
stretching from phrase's end is the cause of such reposes.
Twenty-three seconds, a winter ago, did nothing to cause
collective repose. Charitable conceptions of our little man
of state, of our little great white state, made such a
repose convenient to by-pass. Such charity of ours was ill-conceived, even with the justifications of tax deduction
utility or smooth operation security. Twenty-three seconds
went by without replay because of a nowhere near here wish
and the ready-at-hand convenience of closed-door-behind
activity held to eager light. Caught in the play of shadows
brought to light below the border, our charitable, naive and
all too eager eyes tracked the bright lights, while our
little men of state played unnoticed in the glare.
Now, proper work has been done (thank nothing but a
[your] culture consistent sense of wrong) to demand full
repose from all. Thank too the fortunate affluence of those
this-time-only oppressed. Thank too, the too burned retinas
of long light staring that brought a headline vacuum. Thank
too the to the point-score politics which circumstantially
fairs a culture consistent good. Thank you? No. Nor me. Luck
is a science everyone understands.
In what manner shall the twenty-three seconds be cast,
if I make hope for a time-enough held repose such that the
cast might be considered. A call for clarity first: no thing
was lost, no essence revoked. No, more than all these toy
chest treasures, a practice was made to have future permit,
at the cost of past and present hope for little great white
state practices. What permit-activity will our little man of
state and the little men who follow make of these twenty-three seconds. Holding two weights at even height and
demanding a measure will do little to change activity all
ready practiced by our little men of state.
Only the can-- of which we all grudgingly belong-- will
call our little men of state to order. The rich make like
the poor, the powerful make like the powerless. Both act,
but only one by choice. We, this little great white state,
make like the poor in power all the while our riches urge
outward with power unspent. A call for clarity first: power
is not a possession unused, nor is it energy held in
kinetic; no, it describes an activity, an activity of the
can. Powerlessness, is an excuse-full description of the
(non) activity of the wee poor little white state, an excuse
for activity undone.
Cast a moment of twenty-three seconds that best
predicts the permit-activity you want of your little men of
state, your very own state men. I cast a moment which makes
of this twenty-three a vector that points both--and
many--ways. I cast a moment--out into/onto you--which prohibits
two activities that now stand as permit-activity if left
unanswered. Cast this twenty-three as a memory moment which
will forever replay a story when state-citizen activity took
possession of the activity of their own state men. Our state
men must not live outside of the activity state-citizens
endorse. Pretend no longer to being little: any power you
might have is not hidden in misplacement or undiscovered in
some diviners dream, power is a description of your own
undiscovered activity. With this repose, convert the can
into a will.
