this is it you fucks,
you cowardly trolls,
this is when you will emerge
the albino pigeon from
legerdemain hands
in velveteen sleeves

this is it you birds,
you flapping indenture,
this is when you slip
from the warlock's white gloved grip
ascending to the rafters
to wait for an open
window

this is the day you are
sold into a new custody,
your defenestration a contractual
transfer to the
deceptively
slippery knots
of the sky-
way

wintry pilgrimage

to wainscoting and ceramic

evergreens with painted snow ridges

bejeweled by colors
plastic bulbs over
lights

the titillations of

of my perennial visitation

home box office rape murder fantasy 

and celtic fluting of 

hobbit credits 

a dark and powerful magic

whose invisible and spidery tendrils 

spread fast networks to all corners of bucolic 

warm wooden hued rooms 

which occasionally collaborate  

with the warm tv 

glows

pusses and pups 

plopped and prone on carpets
familiar with excessive corporal contentedness 

and/but dumb to the itchy anxieties of its

pairing with script vicarious anguishings

basking in the blue light

The 'real' interpreter says it all (and he doesn't know it either)

It is amusing to imagine Zizek actually intending to mock himself and his profession by characterizing the purpose of sign interpretation as being propaganda as opposed to an actually useful tool of communication.

". . . are sign language translators for the deaf really meant for those who cannot hear the spoken word? Are they not much more intended for us – it makes us (who can hear) feel good to see the interpreter, giving us a satisfaction that we are doing the right thing, taking care of the underprivileged and hindered."

How clever of Slavoj to ironically prod at cultural analysis in this way. What a marvelous metaphor (and can't we appreciate his self-reflexive ((self-depricating?)) humor). Vacant gesticulations and meaningless machinations of language that fail to communicate; the ambassador of cultural analysis shouldn't be so hard on himself.

". . . what he confronted us with was the truth about sign language translations for the deaf – it doesn't really matter if there are any deaf people among the public who need the translation; the translator is there to make us, who do not understand sign language, feel good."

Of course; had there been any of these hypothetical deaf people wouldn't they have gotten upset? Thank you Zizi. Finally a man with the courage to expose these minions of global capitalism, these court jesters, these neoliberal stooges. We are on to your 'underprivileged and hindered' tools of oppression and will be rendered docile by their charades no more!
