Every state not condemning Israel (& every state condemning Israel too) studying world's reaction to Israel's pogrom against Palestinians for lessons how to implement future pogroms & what they can get away with when they launch their pogroms against their indigenous undesirables (fuck, pogroms against each and every undesirable) in this age of digital witnessing in real time and constant digital surveillance of the witnesses witnessing

(B)eing negotiated, abandoning both *Egoslavian* and *My Sillyass Deserted Island Five Game* branding, abandoning the ritual of my own self-defining calendar, I can't imagine it happening but once I could never imagine even considering abandoning either since that a necessary first step to abandoning more
I abandoned *Egoslavian,* I still MSADI5G not because I still think about it all the time but because (a) I don't and (b) I don't read or listen much at all to those poets, novelists, or musicians who are on it any more, forgive me, it fascinates me, but not as much as once, so progress

 

 

SHITTY KITTY

Don Mee Choi

Here comes Shitty Kitty en route to the Gulf of Tonkin or en route to a race riot? That

is the question and meanwhile discipline is the keystone and meanwhile did you

see on TV helicopters being ditched into the sea? That is also my film and meanwhile

all refugees must be treated as suspects. Looking for your husband? Looking for

your son? That is the question and meanwhile she was the mother of the boy or that

is what the translator said or Shitty Kitty or shall we adhere to traditional concepts

of military discipline tempered with humanitarianism? That is the question and

meanwhile South Korea exports military labor left over from the war. That is also my

history or is that your history? That is the question and meanwhile

 

          (CHORUS: Dictator Park Chung Hee and his soldiers in Ray-Bans)

 

          How much?

That is the question and meanwhile a riot began over a grilled cheese sandwich at

Subic Bay. Discrimination or perception? That is the question and meanwhile the

sailor refused to make a statement or translate? That is the question and meanwhile

twenty-six men all black were charged with assault and rioting and meanwhile did

you translate? That is my question and meanwhile lard or Crisco? Aye, aye, sir!
