weird time
defined by actuality or possibility of civil war
ukraine v. ukraine
syria v. syria
egypt v. egypt
it's not about ideology, though that always plays a part,
however phantom
not even about religion, reliable bedrock of ineluctable enmity,
though that phantom is included
it's about schism
tribalism
go
pick your tribe
but to be honest
it's not even about that
let me suggest that, as jerry seinfeld said about his show,
the history now unfolding is about nothing
nothing really at all
nothingness is at the root of it
the plenitude of the zero**
this doesn't mean there won't be war war & more war
it just means "why?"
why is for lack of reason
overflow of nothing
about the dark matter of history
which is most of it
& which nobody understands
** the zero came to the west from india. let us send it back
where it came from and then enjoy peace
