poem - the case for lower case

 

 

lower case posits in-the-presence-of

lower case is presence

lower case is company

 

lower case can jump from one proposition to another

                                                                                                across the page

 

lower case does not spurn its friends in the typesetting office

lower case may yet lean on a semi-colon for breath; on its way up the stairs

 

lower case listens to the voice of the people

lower case is not Edict

lower case is the kinesis of democracy

 

CAPITAL is stasis

Capital is closure of the business in hand

CAPITAL is the cumulation of reified density

CAPITAL has no being at its centre

CAPITAL is without breath

 

the CAPITALIST SENTENCE begins by setting out its Stall

the CAPITALIST SENTENCE has the subject as line-manager of the verb

the CAPITALIST SENTENCE has no room in which to move

at the end of a CAPITALIST SENTENCE the world comes to a full stop.

 

THE CAPITALIST SENTENCE IS A DEATH SENTENCE.

 

lower case gives you space to live

lower case makes peace with the living 

lower case does not hide behind the toga of the Roman Empire

lower case is the swish of the skirt

 

hmm

always here

as natural as breathing

 

lower space…..lower space,…. lower space……lower space    

    

                                                                                                                              

 

FIN
