crisis of arousal
from squareONE explorations, discovered through Brewed Fresh Daily:
Cleveland, Ohio is where I'm at. It's a city slogging through its post-industrial dark night: post-industrial, ambivalent, self-deprecating, unfashionable, fragmented, and liminal. It's neither old or new age, nor is it progressive or regressive. Cleveland is poor at its heart and wealthy at its extremities. Creative energy moves fitfully through its sclerotic arteries. It's feudal too; . . . a delapidated city-state, who's guardians go unguarded. Its crisis is a crisis of arousal.
