1.
Romantics lie: no rustic bliss, no golden age outside their charmed circle So douse the fires of industry — give us stale bread and superstition, give us the courage to bury our childish dreams Let us rejoice as idiots do: let us be sparse, unheard, then gone
2.
Words twice ground, choked, swallowed down, gnaw against the bindings. A spine to snap unleashing letters pregnant with intention, roots obscured, interpretations weighted by their wanting. Confusion reigns masquerading (as) certainty unquestioned. Swallow and drown.
3.
Postwar tantrums rage as gilded cradles creak Lock your playrooms tight and push your litters out into a dying world New generations blink under a blank and pitiless sun, while you count your precious tears and cry yourself hoarse every night Let your sons, your daughters, sweep up your broken toys — they were never children because you've been one all your life Cry, and watch your tears drown the world
4.
Porch flags fly Napalm pours from the screen White men snarl The camps overflow We are at war: we have always been at war No civilians No neutral observers No treaties hold No rules of engagement We are at war: we have always been at war No white lies No white sheets No white flag No white crosses for the fallen
