At the moment 1 hit song
entangles its rhythm
with the rain’s strange samba
& 1 fatally fleeing order is established
so they can continue to dominate the scene
hair in disorder /
enormous eyes moist
& as if risen from the very chiaroscuro of the night
1 girl appears her muddy fists against her thighs
repeating 1 / 2 / 3 times:
I am not 1 sex object / I am not that you robots /
I’m alive / like 1 forest of eucalyptus
here where the norm is to be implacably nice
to each other
& this is the lesser evil
The park trembles / my inner steps carry me
through the streets of 1 green seaport
the natives call Mescaline
1 sensation unknown until now
like being scientifically certain what DNA tastes like
after making love
If this isn’t Art I’ll slash my vocal cords
me tenderest testicle / I’ll stop blathering
if this isn’t Art
1 tree branch bends under the weight of 1 sparrow
or rather 1 sparrow ends up shattering 1 branch that’s already broken
We’re still alive
somehow or other we must name the islands of crystals
that with the luxury of violence trample the softest regions of your eyes
reality seems like 1 miniature made to scale from mica
but also your eyelids your perception & its straitjacket
Material & Energy /
& the courage to stick your tongue inside their tongue
This is 1 very peculiar day
vibrant quotidian anonymous
absolutely earthly as we often say on days of celebration
or during the every more frequent house raids
the fear lights up your stomach & it burns
THERE IS NO AHISTORICAL ANGUISH
TO LIVE HERE IS TO HOLD YOUR BREATH
& UNDRESS
––Advice from 1 disciple of Marx to 1 Heidegger fanatic––
Poetry: we’re still alive
& you light my cheap cigar with your matches
& you look at me like 1 insignificant mop-top
shivering with cold in the comb of the night
We’re still alive
1 green-eyed and & yell-winged butterfly
has pinned itself to my jacket’s blue lapel
––my denim body
feels seductive human radar pollen magnet
acquires at times the conviction of 1 miniature galaxy
singing sheer absurdities between ohs of amazement––
Damn what a moon!
