HOW TO SUCCEED IN TORTURE
WITHOUT REALLY TRYING
1. FIRST THINGS FIRST:
Surprise,
catch your source off balance
when he least expects it:
At the moment he opens his eyes in the morning
While he shits on the can.
Detain and confine,
quickly,
quickly
cut him off from the known.
Plunge your source into the strange,
the invisible wells gone dry in his bones
Drained by his eyes
He’s in occupied territory—
he could walk a long time and find nowhere, nothing, nada
no doors, no tunnels, windows
2. KEEP IT SIMPLE:
Familiar clothing reinforces identity.
Replace the source
