Words from the Chicago MCA
December 11, 2019
the incomplete border
militarism is celebration here
but fluid narratives and red text play
this is disembodied blackness
disinformation just for you
daily experience nor market research
promise it could be bad to be true
an ecstatic odyssey fainting if
logic spells a map of itself
wave if it’s
amerika

From October 26th, 2019 to January 26th, 2020, the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art ran an exhibit entitled “Direct Message: Art, Language, and Power”. This exhibit included several pieces that museum guests could interact with, including a sheet of "refrigerator magnet" word stickers - feauturing exhibit titles and key ideas from the exhibition - that guests were invited to rearrange into poetry or prose. I created this poem using words graciously given to me by the Chicago MCA.
