americants part three

Rachel

02092025 duty of americants part three


correctness requires deep contemplation

and even deeper patience


demanding company is how you build it differently

truth is how you build it right



maybe all we need to do

is

open up the valve


hear the pop of a solenoid


maybe each time

we try and direct the flow,


it puts an elbow in the pipe

(whatever your 'it' is)


americants?

yeah. is that as a title or word out in the world already?

uhh-

right. well maybe maybe let's cc: back to semantics. this idea that the words we use matter, both within our outward communications and, maybe moreso, with our Self talk.

one more thing missy while i have you-

i know. just be patient.

patience is not going to-

maybe it will.

you can't just expect to-

maybe it will.



the words we use

and how we use them,


they matter.

it matters.


so maybe all we need to do to :step:right:the:fuck:around: these bozos is

to relabel this place:

americant


not to say they won't because they can

not to aid in the tyranny by the endorphin hit followed by "reporting the news"

("hey- have you heard..." followed by a genuine disinterest in the individual)


its just their style

these americants


what they get,

not what we are


and sometimes you have to cut off a limb

to save the body


americants

without their

policing

oppression

this ugly heaviness,

then maybe we can really start


to take that very first breathe

before again



its a decision to swim back to shore

and not just continue treading water


the storm is coming


the sooner you start swimming,

the more useful you will be to the pack

back at shore


the sooner we can start


not to keep saying the storm may pass over

or change directions


not to keep saying they won't,

because they can


because they are


if we told them no,

could they still?


if we started really saying

"you will not do this to my family"


could they still?


how far can you

extend

expand

this idea of family dear reader?


could it be all the fucking way around,

as an embrace from a stranger?


what can you do?



reign it in

before you lose it


it takes time

to wrangle


i cant stop seeing

american

turn to

americant

morph nevertheless

into

americantina


see beyond

consider the person you want to be

consider the country you want to live in


it’s begun


as a restrictive uniform,

as a pair of scissors,
