Excerpts

                              ...The moon is three days
                             Short of full. We lie in bed
                             And watch the stars and the turning
                             Moon through our little telescope.
                             Late at night the horses stumble
                             Around the camp and I awake.
                             I lie on my elbow watching
                             Your beautiful sleeping face
                             Like a jewel in the moonlight.
                             If you are lucky and the
                             Nations let you, you will live
                             Far into the twenty-first
                             Century. I pick up the glass
                             And watch the Great Nebula
                             Of Andromeda swim like
                             A phosphorescent amoeba
                             Slowly around the Pole. Far
                             Away in distant cities
                             Fat-hearted men are planning
                             To murder you while you sleep.

Where Power fails to paralyze with constraints, it
paralyses by suggestion, by forcing everyone to use
crutches of which it is the sole owner & purveyor. Power
as the sum of alienating mediations awaits only the holy
water of cybernetics to baptize it into the state of
Totality.

But total power does not exist, only totalitarian powers.
baptism of organization will be laughed off the stage."
