I long for

uncommodified exchange

interactions outside exploitation

shared experiences beyond consumption

how it felt there beyond your defences.

before our superegos reasserted the conventions

realigned our intentional conduct

to a stiff-backed orthodoxy of self-conscious

mutual apprehension.

drinking, drinking, something to do

desperate to provoke any togethered moments

I realise all I ever sustainedly enjoy is interstitial;

that the correlate of creativity is liberation.
