Hurry to Play
An Embellished Poem Inspired By “Armed Joy” by Alfredo Bonanno and My Time Spent in Psychiatric Detention Centers
Empty cages
Ashes of mental asylums
The unquiet dead and living
Shove Capital’s statute of madness back into its face.

The heavy DSM-5
Leaves marks

Leaves marks
When applied.
Hope persists alongside my dreaming
Screaming sobbing sickness
Hurry Comrade:
Hurry to play.
Hurry to go mad.
Hurry to refuse work.
Hurry to arm yourself.
Screaming sobbing sickness
Hurry Comrade:
Hurry to play.
Hurry to go mad.
Hurry to refuse work.
Hurry to arm yourself.
Hurry to create communities of joy.
