Body nationalism. The national body. The space body. The cosmopolitan body. The liminal body. The enfranchised body. Let’s burn the body.
If I greet you, it is only because I fear you
We greet each other fearing nothing deeper will result from our greeting
We are together in this space
This means one thing: you and me
It is difficult to transcend the ego’s interest: satisfaction
What if a sacrifice is made
What if the sacrifice is a burnt offering
An offering of a thousand aerobic calories
Burnt in 40 minutes
Will we make contact then?
