C18H27NO3. Latest in trauma R&D. Harm in a can. But then, through sirens and cruel chaos, a touch transmits a new compound. Both stable and radical.
Call it what you will, its message is clear: Abolish.
Abolish the cop inside your head, who makes care strange and harm expected. Abolish the abstract walls of patriarchy and the concrete walls of prisons. Abolish the desire to be White. Let it all pour out, like so much snot and dribble. Let it all wash away, like pepper spray down a gutter of milk.
