Five Poems
Humbert Humbert reads Lolita in the park
Everyone is open to everything
Young girls turn around in their iPods
Mario in the shadows lands a power up
The celebrities come and go as they like
In the city of breast feeding and dykes
Shakespeare’s in the alley wasting time
That’s as close as he comes to immortality
Wasting his and wasting mine
By Steven Dube.
The Raconteur against Recuperation
Surfing the present economic pandemonium, Žižek has attained a Malkovich-like ubiquity as the antagonist to those who would contend that time has been called on history. At the slightest hint of Fukuyamist thinking he’s there, describing hitherto-unimagined antitheses to what had been regarded by too many as history’s definitive coda and revealing the poster boys of liberalism as Lex Lutheran bad guys who deploy images of post-political utopias in pursuit of private financial interests. Now, though, Žižek himself proclaims the end, or an end.
