THE MARRIAGE OF GEORGE OSBORNE & IAIN DUNCAN SMITH (epithalamion)
“George Osborne, god of love, we have spurned beauty –”
~ Sean Bonney
george: lo! the wishèd day is come: we
announce the latest action to secure recovery;
that shall pinkwash the gays to usury of long delight:
that we value marriage socially and financially &
doe ye to usury of joy & privatised sexual pleasure sing,
on the back of material cleansing to which all
must answer with all its social consequences, & its
ring that I give to you, Iain, as a symbol of my love,
choosing to bestow austerity with you.
david cameron: bless O Capital, that
Iain and George bequeath, may they ever
abide in thy transformations, together
in privileged unity, love, and happiness, amen.
iain: & George! my love, of applecheeks which the
banks hath corroded, I promise to join my life to your
counter-terrorism budget, that we may cut Muslims
from our biggest society, & having severed the equality
& human rights commission budget by 76% our love shall
grow sustainable enterprise through others’ sickness
and in health, especially the disabled
who shall be reformed back to work through common
personal independence payments & quantitative outsourced
health checks which shall eliminate tens of thousands of
pounds/persons; & we shall universalise them
& the underserving poor to workfair for 30hrs pittance,
& end all legal aid to the austere crises’d ordinary subject
whose demolished life quality will forever be
their responsibility
& cut £11.5bn from our public's tax purse that
shall disporportionately free the ourselves
& the richest, who have already purchased
on credit the marriage commodity here
in the city of westminster, its 20 year ad campaign:
abject parody / commodity-form equality, a fused
community of enforced economic interests
rightfully into which
all homos may crawl, beauty bestowed
from democracy corp., through these difficult times of happiness and sorrow, all the rest of their lives.

conservative love = the absolute colonisation
of the social senses.

bestows the being-subject onto partial us,
impelled stakeholders. queer life privatised
in a moment of
subcultural needs / surplus on the
back of affective provision, where our
qualitative use of the marriage-form
is legitimate only
through its exchange-yield;
where our possible love is depoliticised
as multicultural inclusivity girded from
bone capital/
where LG(bt__) is a series of summerskills linear
w/ new norms i.e. acronym sold to close down
content / we extrapolated to financed change
that negates us / bodies known through markings for
happiness-as-refugee in the fetish trait,
between the vow-thing & the
happily ever consumed ;
there is no talk
of fucking here.

weds economic selfhood
freshly denies racial / gendered

negated from perspectives as scrounger–
i.e. get married or get deported;
the crowd taught to only sight normal/other:
the congregation is a pride parading to social conformity
/ g.a.p.-ad happily sold not to stitch
/ comprehensively spent regulate / the cruelty corporate
liberal gay optimism inflicts on under-subjects
/ the happy coupleformal neoliberated
through active material hate;
no compare to material inequality, 1/4
homeless youths still queer, of trans* subjects
sutured to disclosure in the name of right:
our gendered beingness extra-legal, of the

thought & the felt / boundary
stray to political lockout / insufficient investment /
capital-legit sociality negates the necessary of divergence.

george: Iain,
conjunct to all desirèd lending, I
join our lives to this economic plan, of a
downsized state, minor democratic, of private needs
material, emotional, political, to be
its partner in life. to honour you &
not let the poor leech upon us through their sickness
& in health, nor other undeserving subjects:
migrants with their mischievous, numerous childs
they shall pay £3000 to enter our empire;
NOR the disabled, whose need we sense not;
let no lamenting queers, nor the dolefull jobless,
pour foule horror on the pleasures that thee, Capital,
wrought, honest and faithful they must turn up
with a CV and look for work & only after the seventh
day shall they receive the minimum amount of money
the law requires for life;
& the number of persons working for our public, esp.
women & northern folk, shall fall
by 144,000 in our next years of happiness & health
& we are to remove automatic pay rises simply
for time served to this public & these
are consequences of public investment; & those
who do not utter thoughts in our language must speak
it or we shall not pay them.
plebs! go to your wonted labours this day
is expensive; we plague thee
with the greatest unfairness
& we dub this progressive government
w/ the pledge to plague thee today,
tomorrow, and always.

in newsprint defenders of marriage say the darnest things, yet
their fantasies are negatively realised as our
impoverished everyday. NO PARTIES. NO PEACE.
QUEERS: PRIDE IS NOT OURS. ORGANISE.
FIGHT BACK. ACT UP.

START A REVOLUTION.
