DIFFERENCE

 

 

Difference is a knife

 

A knife with the only ambition to tear things apart

 

Show what is not the same

 

Show the contradictions

 

Show why things do not belong together

 

Only to move on and slit open things, objects, subjects,

nothingness and everything

 

 

Difference is what split pangea 

 

Which lead to continental plates shifting against each other

 

causing tension and releasing this tension 

 

causing earthquakes 

 

causing a difference between people who are victims of an earthquake

and people who are not. 

 

 

Difference is the water seeping into a rock

 

Waiting to freeze and split the rock into pieces

 

They are individual rocks now 

 

Following their individual paths

 

Are they though? 

 

Aren’t they the same rock just spread out? 

 

Isn’t this rock and many other rocks actually one gigantic rock spread out?

 

 

Difference is poison 

 

Difference can happen to anything and anybody

 

If there was a vaccine against difference I would want it

 

Difference is a virus

 

Difference is bacteria

 

Difference is separating

 

Difference is comparing

 

But what difference does it make? 

 

Which degree of difference are we talking about?

 

I’m really sorry to tell you…

 

we are talking about a huge difference.
