Hurt Feelings Aside,
A Poem by Matthew Bass
stupid audiences are no worse than boring poets,boring musicians, boring artists boring philosophers.
If the world is a stage, the audience: (you) amoral nymphs gorging off the sangría pouring out of my wrists. I am a prostitiute.
We´ll clank our glasses together and taste smooth full-bodied delusion, lay the cornerstone the next eleven steps are bulit upon.
Eternal life Moral enlightenmnet all crocks one in the same, but you will still fade away like blood thirsty citizens swayed to and fro with the prose of sweet idiots like me.
I am no vanguard nor should you pat yourselves on the back
but digress I, because
that cute guy in the corner checking you out is really saying "She have wide hips, she give many babies".
that cute girl smiliing and tussling her hair is really saying "He have broad shoulders, he hunt many antelope".
and
all I really want is a spear to kill things with, marking my territory on the walls with out getting arrested, scratch my balls in public, naked like pre-historic man.
and
six months from now you will love this poem on a different night, in a different bar, no different from this swathing into another more pretentious than the next
cursed by sirens singing on the rocks about cusps, futures, selfish revolutions taking vacations to the margins with that so typical Wicker Park mentality. |
