Becoming, a concept from the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari,1 is an asignifying process of transformation that unsettles the taken-for-granted. Engaging with micropolitical movements of power and resistance, becomings generate fissures and lines of escape that are difficult to classify or categorize. In this Deleuzio-Guattarian intoxicated poem, the author explores his imperceptible becoming following the surgical removal of an oral cancer.
