affective dialectics: first treatise
i)
calender
recoils inevitable
convergence from relational
/ desolate arterials' negation.
residue threaded in to taste of histories, the
privacy of present(s) which
heteronormativity decisive a thrall/yours
to saturate body , framed by
front door of house site.
to politeness , I
breathe ambivalent ,
conversation brushes the head / london
distinctly bright-autumnal, light heat embodied
/ lacked across coordinate months &
feeding pleasure in this levity,
its former state reified as the absent, failed
originary.
queer want turns
to the love poem ,
"impossibility due
to the financial district, globally (re)producing
wiry verbs between those who cohabit &c.
/ site stable
for emotional growth, pleasant
through the ease of contention".
composure dissolves as hands slip the skirt
upon nerves sold primitive to clothe them,
prevents reciprocal affects from the brim I
do not own the necessary hours to articulate the comms neurosis
condemns in the ease of mobility

ii)
social laylines
to grasp / dissonant
between the uttering bodies’
conceptual orient of praxis–
the curve of energy from unifications
of want over read ease of the given:
let electrostatics pursue duality
in relational nebula / hands stringing
to concrete / dynamic, open access
as springboard,
where “access” rings attentive to class / bodies ,
please do not
take your eye off alterity ,
or the firmament that structures their years
there is much to maintain eaches through cutting
much breath construed possessive;
the stale hang of being-drag upon the material statutory;
much that could be began / no leaves
to render us lavender.

in wanting to throw arms
into consummate the
loss of ground cognitives you
cannot consciously render
legible / sensuous ; I long
to write
to you but capitalist labour is occupying most of my ‘is’ / decreasing
possible thought &
the content of activist address / institutional
form offered to reified sexes / which we
try to negate out of necessity / against the
basis of our atomisations ::
cut identity by the common ease of social belonging
frames process of knowing itself / hierarchical
elides uncommon
circuits of want also stayed in the
safe knowledge of physionogmy
/ fuck glorious sub/cultural positivism / ideal :
practice seperated from the possibility of critique /
casual exclusions at the basis of interaction / e.g. the
trans/feminine / qpoc body barely respires in such spheres; idealist
first person movement detached
from historical totality of queer need
reaffirms wealth & liberal borders, its privacy
& pretty cottages, over
the cost of sick leave / inflated brickwork / bedroom tax &c., the
everyday as debilitating / obstruct emotives,
the £20k wedding & police transphobia, self defence
& the prison/asylum industrial complexes,
the exchange-value of rights & the neoimperial state,
the absence of capital, socially
necessary to materialise sovereign,
embedded in its reading of the body ::
to run caresses under bureaucracy

the politic of

(solidarity poem to the occupation)
alt.s cutting sweat from eras
of our objection
by degrees: economic quarry
to refigure loud
yet under general / conception,
categorised interaction of knowledge-process
mutating to product absolute / operates /
interwoven to vacuous speech &
newsmedia content where
the latter sublimes the need of response; yet
here, to overcome these exact atomisations
& political lethargy endemic
/ protest formalised as a negation of action & cauterised possibility
/ critical of harmonic speech acts / the embankment /
inverting historical emotive & response;
demands maintenance of foresight : who cleans
our congress? who works the serve of stimulants &
embodied necessity? who is
responsible for the basis in/or external?
who is shaking hands in the name
of a dynamism we retain the ability to halt?
the various mediums of limbs to this cell / potential
point of reverse / the economic imperative to make
the process of education unmanageable
/ the seizure of productive space / where we
are recuperated / in temporal reverse,
historical lineage disarming threat / where the
'factory / shut it down' phrase is a stand-in for this
necessarily total action //
to refuse simply symbolic value is to remain
within the logic that subsumes us
into the education market
/ bonfires & farthings / the
spitting heat
of smelted currency, it is 6 degrees centigrade
/ payments delayed / dissolves spring snow / the
market spread divided by speed-circulate
// or slogans
on amazon / the barricade blocks the university
opens the strictures / arrest in our thought / the
demonstration must consume campus / to reorient futurity
/ history,
smash the schism of participation & control :
free speech as the mythic conditions
encourage empowered belief, that only
escalation may fulfil
