Collective amnesia: repeated TV footage Of endless unknown war zones: American fighter jets and black SUVs and Hummers. Aviator glasses and J. Crew Camouflage khakis. Oscar Romero, School of the Americas. KUBARK and its kingdom Of ways of breaking The prisoner. Guantanamo, Delta Block: fifty detainees In permanent delusional state. Nursery songs and baby talk, mistaking The guards for their fathers. Beat down the prisoner, Then refill his brain with clutter. Loudspeakers play the sound of TV talk shows And of animals being slaughtered. World in pieces, Collective trauma.
Year Zero.
