In order to impose itself, neocolonialism needs to convince the people of a dependent country of their own inferiority. Sooner or later, the inferior man recognises Man with a capital M; this recognition means the destruction of his defences. If you want to be a man, says the oppressor, you have to be like me, speak my language, deny your own being, transform yourself into me. As early as the 17th century the Jesuit missionaries proclaimed the aptitude of the [South American] native for copying European works of art. Copyist, translator, interpreter, at best a spectator, the neocolonialised intellectual will always be encouraged to refuse to assume his creative possibilities. Inhibitions, uprootedness, escapism, cultural cosmopolitanism, artistic imitation, metaphysical exhaustion, betrayal of country - all find fertile soil in which to grow.

you wont understand
and neither will i

the ditch running between
us running along roads

cold/warm 
grey/bright 
des/in/formed
escape/escape

still, hardly do 
we share the independence with anyone
but us, nomadic concentrated bonds

we, hardly share needs
just a fate
i am fortuned, you say
while you hate every reminder of the ditch

we don't call it anything
let it be, let her just be, 
because i can listen, sometimes
to hate and the shape of the road

in between stations i see you thinking
