Astonishing Collapse
Peter Cicariello
All this living embodiment this rationality
This finite maximal production, these borders
Between the final astonishing collapse accompanied
By a resounding redundancy a pervasive pall of fear
Over the invoked legacy ultimately denying
The capacity of possibility for future
