film drama is the opium of the masses

dziga vertov’s  camera eye

has detached its retina –

click, whir –

a reddish yellow mass

of seething altered state

kino-kism: glowing

white-hot to-blue eye,

the whirring swallows the gray

incandescent sky

“… you have to allow yourself to use a voice that is unique and your own, that is not what you’ve read before. There is a certain impulse in all writers to want to please. You have to give up wanting to please.”

— Dorothy Allison
