"Man's desire is the desire of the Other."
-- Jacques Lacan

"Civilization merely hides from itself---behind a thin static scrim of rationality---the truth that only desire creates values."
-- Hakim Bey

"We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much--if at all.

"...it's a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light--that it's going to change everything. Things don't have to change the world to be important."

Steve Jobs in Wired, February 1996

despite my best efforts to stay asleep,
the walls are dismantling themselves.
I cover the cracks with lists
and my aspirations for a
successful human life,
while a saint I do not know
waits impatiently to be born.
