innocence (each night) is earned
again.
day fraught with sliverish
young splinters
pieces together
jewels for dream.
unless you land
a silence
to enlist mental dry goods
into gift,
no more memory but making.
the approbation
not needed
now to equal always.

Brief Notes- Commerce based Democracy
When we reach the stage in a democracy of repetition*, then we enter the "dream phase"; our alter-ego or soul, individuality finding expression through aspiration and fantasy.
A commerce-based, legislative democracy aspires to mediocrity and conformity. Individuality is compromised, indeed it could be argued that individuality is non-existent. The subjective becomes objectified, so identity becomes an objective representation... a name or number. It can be argued that objects develop a mystique (consumer goods, for example) so they acquire subjective connotations.
Individuality finds expression through the "dream phase". Technology is a major tool in our present "dream phase" and the Internet is its primary theatre - a theatre for everyone, presuming that everyone can afford to have access.
Money assumes a mythical status, representing the subjective; its artificiality (via credit cards, direct debit payments/loans and computerized, numerical representation) give it a mystique that ascends money to the status of religion, love and the arts. The artificiality of this quasi-invisible substance becomes a representation of a representation - a fluid, opaque, near-nothingness that can cause your home to be repossessed or can leave you bankrupt.
Internet self-promotion equals "everyone as an artist or author" and ties in with the concept of the "Death of the Author". This is democratic, in the best sense of the word, but the primacy of object/objectivity that we experience leads to a state of Internet users as actors who are permanently in character. This is our expression of individuality, repressed by an overtly commercial culture, an unerring, self-fulfilling narcissism that confuses fantasy and reality and leaves identity or soul objectified and reduced in status to "virtual reality".
* Democratic repetition is the stage, where money and role become more important than personal aspiration due to personal need (expression of self). Hence, a situation where similar tasks are repeated for similar ends. Academic, artistic/creative and other needs (such as public service, health care, etc.) become, primarily a means to achieve profit, rather than the primary aim to educate, entertain, or serve the public, etc.
Ultimately, the "dream phase" asks for more than the repetitive physical motions of objective representation. Eventually, the mechanical and physical give way to Romanticism (including romance) where individuality/the soul craves expression and people find this expression through any means they can. However, for many in the West, religion, particularly Christianity are currently off the agenda! So secular means of self expression are now more important than ever.

the crucifixition will be televised.
Watching the sigur rós’s “vaka” videoclip less than a hour ago I did remember the cruel conclusion I have settled, back in 2005, for “astroenteritis” plot :
Christine, an agnostic 9-year old girl, a nurse’s daughter, permits being tortured and then being sacrificed for ending the World War III in a political negotiation before planet earth dies. Then, planet earth stays alive despite the ozone layer is already destroyed.
I wanted, and now I want it back, to “un-sexualize” my Jesucristina character so the message don’t astray from the focus, which its strong message is comparing children as defenseless and tortured beings in the same way non-vegan people permit with animals.
Moreover, videoclips as the mentioned above and shocking movies as “voces inocentes” make part of this “hidden” truth about children being tortured everyday.
….. I think this is the proper ending for that shocking storyline of mine; even it’s too painful for me in making it and I suppose that’s the reason why I had left this possible conclusion behind.
Now it’s (sadly) official.

. So this deadly ending leads to the present separated realities of Araeallia & Innita para No, in the World War IV.

if you would aftercare your way into the heart of a child
you would be holding an adult who might (childlike)
love you for eternity.
and if you spoonfed selves of yours to looking up in light
to light to mimic what light does you would long have been
blessing probability no matter how pinched the small end of the curve.
the wool of evening answers lawn mist and some shoulders have so little
left to carry after hours. many champions seem hollow now that quiet
comes to be presented as simplicity and things to be forgotten are let go.

hotel water is running steam
another room is drying
I afforded vegetables grilled
tonight and I afforded salad
I afforded salmon (wild)
it is my justice to be whole
a little while
you are my gesturing
the white afraid condoning
what experience extends
beside attention and intention
some of me is here
and there you reach to locate
intersection it is beautiful
outside tonight
outside tonight the thought
of a wild peace conveys
wingspan and lateral pronunciation
when the wind tenders a breath across
fourth avenue we are a song
including rests and guesses
and we unearth eternity
from its cavern of convention
auspices of silhouettes remain
the lines touching the other lines
the lines enmeshed in being
quite the smooth indulgent lines
the atmosphere of taking
what is offered and bestowing
blessed use upon an object
being yet another object
intersecting

apprentices endowed with half potential
recognized contagious levelers
in the way collective nouns
approach our plural
resonance
our homes are tuffets
and our silver fills
small impulses turned prayer
to systems
of our jilted inclinations
limber preaching
nominates prompt tones
whittled by hearing
on the off-chance
that guesswork might be right
rinsed down by water
inflamed homemade dessert
its cost defrayed by minor spurts
refined and washed away
simply withheld for good

pure ruth
rooftop holds
her safely
she prays sleep
and all the world
extinguished
equals all the world
present and sure
for ruth here sleeping
