There is something written in our hands
foreign hands that try to erase
the lines of your writings (not on writing-machine: PAC)
will be handled
and returned to their rich bottomless schools
for getting in the way
where a first stumble
is just enough
to know that arks and armies are coming (no, is not Noe)
with all the other members of the banking family
: how could they forget
that we know
how to read between lines
since many glorious pages
written on the lines of our hands
pages that we are rewriting & writing
in an indelible red ink
the story of all the hands taken from the hand in arms
which is not only a matter of heroes & martyrs
to whom we
have never had to manufacture —neither with the writing machine
nor touching by obligation
: that there is no way to deprogram the lines of these hands
axes fists
against the rewriting dollar guidelines & bookaholic kicks
no matter how hieroglyphical
were your hard hands against our walls …
: we are in the hands of ourselves
we are the only readers capable of holding their hands
—or any other extremities—
to those who fill them with the lines of the work of others
since we know them
since the palms
of our own hands are reading themselves
: that here we have a whole country of champoleanos:
unpinning
digging up
dusting off
decoding everything.
