upon discovery that torture is not screams and flesh
and certainly not their image
rendered by tricks of light
and angles of cameras -
how absurd -
one is relieved
through the (boring) picture of synthetic pain
one can learn that pain has nothing to do with
foreign objects
and everything to do with perspective,
power
upon realisation that there is always choice
(how much do i need to believe?)
in terms of relation to
the choice to believe that screams and flesh
could possibly be the torture
we all fear
is dangerous,
it allows the abstract rules of life and death
as binaries, as light and dark
take over what is never whole
and rule!
as if they were black and white -
like this and that -
or white and black, rather
nothing else
and the images were that
with some red
how symbolic
one is relieved
