Caliban

Freedom is where the poet begins,
That’s not to say in words.

One evening,
Just to let you know,
I made monumental attempts to practice
with mirrored environments:
Personalised, vegetal, damp,
Earthy at the same time,
Exquisitely surreal;
International future cyborgs in partnership
with farmers, more monstrous together;
Spindly-legged beasts,
Earlier beasts,
Mirrored environments.
It’s mad.

Progress has to be a great place.
Play around.

Cherish Free Time

We need to cherish our free time, 
free from forced work and compulsive thoughts 
about production, performance and duty; 
free from the prejudice of being overwhelmed and stressed; 
free from the notion that free time is wasted time. 

Dissidence is built 
when there is an open space for free thinking. 
Thinking itself occurs after a series of breaks from the ordinary, 
breaking from the work routine, 
from the capitalisation of time. 

We need to cherish our free time, 
free from forced work and compulsive thoughts 
about production, performance and duty; 
free from the prejudice of being overwhelmed and stressed; 
free from the notion that free time is wasted time.
