"Past One O'Clock" by Vladimir Mayakovsky

Past one o'clock. You must have gone to bed.
The Milky Way streams silver through the night.
I'm in no hurry; with lightning telegrams
I have no cause to wake or trouble you.
And, as they say, the incident is closed.
Love's boat has smashed against the daily grind.
Now you and I are quits. Why bother then
to balance mutual sorrows, pains, and hurts.
Behold what quiet settles on the world.
Night wraps the sky in tribute from the stars.
In hours like these, one rises to address
The ages, history, and all creation.

Politically delineated "state" entities, although they are contrived abstractions, nonetheless have deep and resonant associations for what psychologist Carl Jung referred to as the collective unconscious, or "mass mind." These geopolitical characters are a constellation referred to as much as the family in the self's determination of identity, their fortunes often determined by their inhabitants blind, convulsive will.

Political constructs such as national/racial identity or the emotional attachment to a state's leader are sublimated projection: the cloying gurgles of an infant child. They make no sense even to their mewing dispatchers.

They are simply the voiced rationalization for a deeply rooted identification with (or, perhaps, alienation from) nation states (not only one's own, but all perceived states) as archetypes in a system of astral-political deities.
