THE ETHICS OF DJ SPINOZA

In a city emptied by bombs
walks DJ Spinoza

He says, I have defeated
the second argument

Man
is not a substance

Nor woman, tree
street, tower

They aren’t
self-caused

Their essence
does not imply existence

I have defeated
the second argument

I have defeated
the second argument

He walks into a bar
with the Laughing Philosopher and the Weeping Philosopher

The Laughing Philosopher can’t speak—
he’s laughing

The Weeping Philosopher can’t speak—
he’s weeping


But not DJ Spinoza
DJ Spinoza sails in a sub

named Specie Aeternitatis
early in the morning!

He speaks, I have invented
a language for depicting the real

My language consists of the one element A
for God alone
                    is real

The fact that I can think of him
means he exists

All other things lack this property
This is why

they vanish
because they aren’t self-caused

He is their cause, their substance
He is what they are

Therefore I shall represent them accordingly:

AAAAAAAAAAA

          AAAA

                     AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAA
