OUT OF THE BLUE
call me anytime
from anywhere
but the Congo
ask to
speak to Professor Zizek
and I’ll tell you
he is not here
is unavailable
wowing some audience
with Lacanian psychoanalysis
or Hegelian dialectic
deriding
at a special forum
the exploitation of child soldiers
child armies
who to carry heavy war ordinance
look far too small
fighting for and against warlords who
ensure tech companies
get their raw materials
to make
the teeny-tiny phone
components
that allow you
to phone me out
of the blue, ask for Slavoj Zizek
would allow him, were he here,
to speak back to you
