- Abstract
This article addresses the poetry practiced by poets in urban buses of the city of Fortaleza-CE. As a survival tactic, bus poetry accomplishes at least two main objectives for poets in Fortaleza's and the Metropolitan Area's ghettos: dismantling socially crystalized stigmas and financially supporting themselves. The poetry inside buses isn't something new in Ceará's capital and it exists in many cities around Brazil. These poetic practices and their ghetto poets wave to a new meaning: resisting is not enough. It is necessary to re-exist to decolonize, create new ways of life: creating is re-existing. Therefore, the first revindication o re-existing is remaining alive before the many "contemporary forms of subjugation of life to the power of death", according to Achille Mbembe (2017a), when he talks about capitalism in its current form, as the world's-necropolitical-duty (Mbembe, 2014). It's a game of permanent inventive displacements (escape), strategic and quick plans, disappearance, and affirmation. According to Frantz Fanon (2008, p. 189), a real leap that introduces invention into existence, for "in the world through which I travel, I am endlessly creating myself": a decolonial poetics. As the investigative process, we've used the methodological contribution of qualitative and bibliographic research and the ethnographic experience, carrying out in-depth interviews and accounts recorded in field journals.
