Colkie McCulklen is dead
and the princss
see them move on the darkness
of the waters and the earth
the face of Charles Bronson in other words,
and Pacino the mohterfucker,
alas, alos dead.
Mr Brond and that guy in the red car,
and Jason Bored, the X-mint
and –womint, theyr ALL DEAD.
I remember Jane Seymour
in the formless voidacom.
Roudn of APPLAUSE. Thank you.
Eastwood sits on a chair, they clap.
He talks to the chair
but it don’t listen to him.
Thank you.
The stars are reams.
Hoffman is walking there, he’s walking there.
Gunnerman is gone.
The tsars are reams. Some
overdose, shoot up horse,
too much horse,
liquor the vicar, the priests
the girls, the boys molested:
catholics and imams, rabbis amd gurus
the sheiks of oil, of all, of old
of puppetry, colonial sahabi
ya habibi
and then the wahabi
theyr dead, all dead
reams of infamy
Bush, Obama, the whole dice dead,
Hillary gored
Bin Laden the seasoick
the US blergh
That Williams gut, bless his soul.
Hollywood got him, dead.
Bridges of bloody stone country.
(old reference, I have often noticed)
Look, ther they lie (or is it lay)
lifeless, broken on the riverbed.
We gawk at zombies.
Run, I say, run! Run, run, run!
But tomorroe, tomorrow
we’ll re-run with euphemism
terrorism vampirism liquid jism
put it in your foxcroft aphorism
(Turn around)
every now and then
I get nervous
that the best gears have all gone by
(Turn around)
Every now and then
I get terrified
But then I see the book in your eyes
and it solves nothing
not hunger nor truant artists
racists, anti-racists, non-
and multi-bloody-fuck-you-racists
poverty, the dread disease
the cabal of brouhaha
the ego of Cock, Dick & Penis Incorporated
the silent, dumb mass of you zombies
the arse-bend of Spidergrawl
the confunction of the bloggerbies:
Mistah Kurtz, the un-dead.
Marlow he solves not murder,
the crimbling stories
of the apiarists,
the ape-men, the old movies
re-done for tuppence
if I may speak colonial
May I?
Graceful. Magnanimous of you
that I can use these words
too
and be free
of white-wash-ionside-coconutism
and all my spelling blerrors
I am allowed?
Than you, than uou.
Now it divides
form from chaos
light from dark
and the cables are laid
and the internet buzzes
into life
and it saw that all was good
Hi Rustum, I like the performative and courageous aspect of this one. I like it less when it becomes overtly polemical (and bitter and weaker, from my point of view) a little bit before the end, and then I love the end.
