"All The World's A Stage"-Marx

Economy: the politics of materiality, of relation.
The back-but-always-front stage

A stage in-material-transition
A stage of, for, after, before
A stage in motion, a currency.

(c)Enter Stage. Lamb of Europe, Tool of Empire.

Shoes on. Muffled. Prepare for labour.
platforms - gumboots - blunnies - platforms
Workwear, rubber, interchangeable units.

The petite-bourgeoisie mimics the bourgeoisie in garm - the proletariate in mode.
Performative bourgeoisie, practical proletariate. (theory/praxis)
Characters at play. Implicated, we must act.

"primitive communism - feudalism - capitalism"-Shakespeare

Peasant-proletariate in Pink. Her finest dress.
Pathetically colonial. Spectacle on Stolen Soil.
Using her platform(s) to feed her machine. Oil.

Futile embers burn low. (the banality)
She attempts ignition. (set up camp)
She attempts leisure. (how's ur work/life balance?)

Swallowing the failings of her own attempts.
The bitch returns to eat her own shit.

A silent opera of Power Tools,
A Satyr Play of Patheticism.
A bloody parody.

"what time is it?"
                         - ProletariatePrincess in re-verse.
                            Neo-colonial-cyber-space-time-bitch.
