I wrote an extensive and writerly comment that got erased by the UI gods (perhaps ultimately to the benefit of all). Wanted to say I feel a deep appreciation of this post, of exploring these kinds of intersections, and of looking underneath the symptoms of collapse to see the underlying design of economies driven by debt, accumulation, private property, and extraction. And for structural poetry.

My wife and I recently saw the Netflix series “Vortex” and your article is a perfect follow up and greatly expands on some of the core explorations in the series. Great work and many thanks. (I have forwarded it to my wife who was the Poet Laureate for our home town in Canada, so I await her “professional” opinion!)

I loved this article for so many reasons! The poem I posted in the comments lost its formatting (it's a quintain or pentastich if you prefer), so if you'd like a copy, I'd be happy to email it to you.
