my fellows americans 

with minds so organized 

scared of ambiguity 

ready to any event

my wandering  is frustrated in the sub-urban-without-urbe landscape 

all your streets land in dead-ends and private roads

no way to get everywhere 

even the maps can't be read -the places can't be dreamed-

homogeneicity through-in the social ghettos 

the sole rhizomes i saw were in the mountains, the roots of trees
turned to the air by last hurricane

and no yet removed 

(and yet, why can I love this place too?)

my fellows americans 

I pity your efforts to avoid sorrow and destruction

your fear of fear

your wasting yourselves in  self-preservation

I pursue the useful at least like you

and in fact it seems I get it very easily

but i laugh at its allowing me to live

that isn't a great deal

and, you know, a middle-class position is the best starting point to get
the best results from some tasting of sovereignty

and FOR SURE you do me a great favour any time you deplete me from any
power 

which doesn't happen so often

since you absolutely can't understand my desire to remain at the lowest
energetic level -I should have renounced to study-

the only to let some freedom left for horizontal shifts,
high-energy-positions devolved necessarily to conservation of themselves

to maintenance of order, again.  

(keep a low profile)

(europeans didn't seem so obstinate and so obsessed by chaos, some
modesty perhaps makes them hide the terror)

my dear deleuze-guattarians,

i am leaving soon

my wandering doesn't agree with ubiquity

my sense of community is quite shrunk by insufficient practice

(and yet, why can so easily became fond of some people?)

honor to d&g that couldn't care less

thanks for your hospitality

thanks of course without special order 

to dionysus (for understanding exactly) tom (for deep rummage and for the
wonderful test) charles (for some kind of support -note: there should be
something wrong in the accessibility of your address-) chris (for taking
me seriously, that, guys, isn't really worthwhile)

thanks to john also 

maybe i will come back to visit you here sometimes

maybe at (should I say on?) christmas

maybe maybe maybe
bye
