when mouths close shut.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beneath the fresh paint,
beneath the plaster of renovations,
there are sentences
that wait.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They do not ask
to be read.
They demand
to be heard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The city sleeps
in its own noise.
The neons say &lt;em&gt;buy&lt;/em&gt;
and the walls reply
&lt;em&gt;burn&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Against clarity</title><link>https://pfbardo.toasa.net/en/fragments/contre-la-clarte/</link><pubDate>Sun, 17 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://pfbardo.toasa.net/en/fragments/contre-la-clarte/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;They ask us to be clear.
They ask us to be legible.
They ask us to be transparent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clarity has become an injunction. Transparency, a police force. Opacity, a crime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2 id="i-transparency-is-a-trap"&gt;I. Transparency is a trap&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When power says &amp;ldquo;transparency,&amp;rdquo; it means: &lt;em&gt;show yourselves&lt;/em&gt;. When power says &amp;ldquo;legibility,&amp;rdquo; it means: &lt;em&gt;make yourselves predictable&lt;/em&gt;. When power says &amp;ldquo;clarity,&amp;rdquo; it means: &lt;em&gt;stop escaping us&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
