unity
not to be confused with solidarity
is understood as
conceptually tied
to domination.
to the extent that
we learn to
perceive others arrogantly
or come to see them
only as products of arrogant perception
and continue to perceive them that way,
we fail to identify with them,
fail to love them.
the failure of identification
is the manifestation
of the “relation”
loving leads to
double perception
playful foolishness
that lends itself to travel.
do not be self-important
do not take norms as sacred
come here and sit with us
on a dirty bench
littered with a chorus.
