“This is why tyrants of all stripes, infernal servants,
have such deep-seated hatred for the nomads -

this is why they persecute the Gypsies and the Jews,
and why they force all free peoples to settle,
assigning the addresses that serve as our sentences.

What they want is to create a frozen order, to falsify time's
passage. They want for the days to repeat themselves, unchanging,
they want to build a big machine where every creature will be
forced to take its place and carry out false actions.

Institutions and offices, stamps, newsletters, a hierarchy, and
ranks, degrees, applications and rejections, passports, numbers,
cards, elections results, sales and amassing points,
collecting, exchanging some things for others.

What they want is to pin down the world
with the aid of barcodes, labelling all things,
letting it be known that everything is a commodity,
that this is how much it will cost you.

Let this new foreign language be illegible to humans,
let it be read exclusively by automatons, machines.
That way by night, in their great underground shops,
they can organize reading of their own barcoded poetry.

Move. Get going. Blessed is he who leaves.
