Meggie Danziger
places are crowded, overloaded with anonymity
everyone is talking
but no one is talking to each other
we are living commodified lives
walking around surrounded by invisible walls
separating us from the others
caught in the totality of the spectacle
we are hypnotized by the mantra of consumerism
the urban dream, a neoliberal nightmare
blindfolded with billboards
we do not see what is real and even
the visionaries have lost their vision
***
be subversive – dare to dream!
for dreaming is refusing to take part
in the nothingness of urbanism
take what is yours
and yours is everything
live, create, destroy
celebrate the human spirit
defend real experience
construct your own history
occupy every void
for there is no such thing as
emptiness
