We have the right to disregard everything,
they say.  To dissolve, to dissipate, to dismantle,
to destroy the unlivable world,
to propose a purpose,
to elicit autotelicity,
to see the rarely-seen,
to know the little-known,
to live forever in the moment
of your highest achievement,
to consume now what was made for then,
to feel no obligation to accept others' assessments of things
or to seek others' acceptance of one's own assessments,
to accommodate the accompaniment
while calculating the amplitude of attitude,
to advocate advantage,
to imagine a state of no imagination,
to pre-sell our future commissions,
to pepper our lines with purloined letters,
to perceive the limitation of the litigation,
to know we will never walk the denied mile,
to have forgotten where we put away our passion
and be surprised, long after, at its sudden reappearance,
to know, to understand, to love, and to be good,
to be uncommunicated,
to fail without falling,
to be impressed by the impervious
or to delight in the delicate,
to be conscious without identity,
to be "I" without consciousness,
to persist beyond existence,
to exist only as something which once existed,
to lose even our losses,
to be unaware of everything
to the degree that we resist the experience,
to let things be more than we first thought they were.
