The party: still evil. The room, the situation, the past, the past, the sound, rhythms / an old crush, daydreams… urgent, impatient, demonstrative. The overcoming. Something shared, but neither binary nor dialectical: love.
So we continue. Like shedding skin. Knowing something, slowly / can’t keep up, in the here-and-now, in the age/mood of learning to breathe underwater, feeling limbs ache, tire: a strategy of presence. Flooded, but ongoing in their inoperativity. A beginning: secrets, glances, desire… Uncertain, unfamiliar gestures: movement plus infrastructure, internalized, understood.
Fleeing/feeling the collapse of your self/body, thought and discovery, all their reminders. Our only encouragement and reassurance is the playfulness of those assembled, injured, touching, present. Our only critique will be life itself: always until victory.
“To every relation of movement and rest, speed and slowness grouping together an infinity of parts, there corresponds a degree of power. To the relations composing, decomposing, or modifying an individual there correspond intensities that affect it, augmenting or diminishing its power to act; these intensities come from external parts or from the individual’s own parts. Affects are becomings… What can a body do? We know nothing about a body until we know what it can do, in other words, what its affects are, how they can or cannot enter into composition with other affects, with the affects of another body, either to destroy that body or to be destroyed by it, either to exchange actions and passions with it or to join with it in composing a more powerful body.”
