Death To Post-Modernism: A World Fractured...Not Divided
A Poem by Matthew Bass
Four handsome men sing lullabys: security oppurtunity pride defense. Four monsters bleed through the pores of a dapper´s mask: repression nationalism patriotism militarism. I have no pulpit no personal driver no mahogany table to rest my gut on. No money, no success no consciousness. No power, no control no more clothes; stolen from me at gunpoint. The pleasure spots on my flesh numbered and registered for quicker manipulation, others consume champagne while I drink table wine and pretend. Panic drips from windows, the scent of black and white talking pictures, torture victims and their genitals scrubbed with black colored pencil hidden behind a bubbling white veil. I am not alone in the streets with my gas mask and dry heaves as long as the mob runs in the same direction. But as long as the chassis are heard in the distance we are all on our own. |
