Shallow Rewards
“26 PSalm 285”
Three hundred fascists were killed in this explosion in Madrid, Spain, under the five-story Casa Blanca building, on March 19, 1938. Anti-fascist forces tunneled 600 yards over a six-month period to lay the land mines that caused the explosion.
So much for the tolerant left.
“I respect working hard but I dread a day job. Or a job interview. I’ve got a truant heart, I just want to be gone. I’d be in the kitchens, the corridors at work, and I’d be staring at the panels on the roof, clocking all the maintenance doors, dreaming about getting into the airducts. A portal. As a kid I used to dream about being put in the bins, escaping from things, without my mum knowing she’d put me out in the bins. So I’m in a black plastic bag outside a building, and hearing the rain against it, but feeling alright, and just wanting to sleep, and a truck would take me away.”
Burial interviewed by Mark Fisher in The Wire, 2007. A remarkable image, the kid in the trash bag hearing the rain on the plastic, don’t get quotes like that in interviews often.
