We have lost our freedom, Our intrinsic autonomy, In trying to answer the question How should we live?
We have lost our ability To open our own free space Within the house of language Without the semiotics of discourse.
We wait for someone to tell us How dear our life is, How valuable others are, How precious this planet is!
We then eroticize, fantasize and signify, The pulsating flesh and The desirable ‘Other’, and only then Become familiar with some identifiable value,
We cannot create enough space for ourselves Or for the Other To touch the effervescence of existence Without ethics, science or physics.
Look at the nomads, the gypsies, even the Greeks, Who realized their own significance Without intervening encumbrances Of either the didactic or the scientific disciplines,
Look at them! As they achieved their inner freedom, Without metaphysics or ontology, Through the unadulterated hermeneutics of being.
