You think I want to generate or use asbestos?
You think I want this bathwater image of an actual camera?
You think I want a reasonable use for archiving information,
The actual Pope’s weapons,
Or a total rejection of power?
Ha ha ha! Look, you aesthetic pollutant—
A ready-made cannot be inspired.
His Holiness Pope Francis? Powerless idiot,
Fingerprinting nuclear weapons
like the blast has hands.
Adopt a posture of anthropomorphization,
Get neck deep in asbestos, I am begging you,
Work without such a controversial stance.
We don’t even want people that produce outputs, that think
they can reach for the sky.
Maybe you exist and I don’t, or vice versa.
All I know is you’re reusing someone’s work,
And in this political environment,
Where Getty barely rises to watermark your firstborn son,
This is the answer you’re getting.
