On my summer reading list
Az a hammer-up on my head
…Blood drip down my eyelids
Not my blood. Blood of the dead.
“Why are they dead,” she said.
I Said, “Because of glut & puf-
fy heads; …big butts & swagger
& big-o-try that, like a dagger: et tu,
...Uncleans mass rolls of revenue:
Gold & bold & railroads & tolls
& Mr. Manifest Destiny’s mired
Macho & merry merry Xmas
(NO, not Christ Mass) gorge
And billboard mondo, park-
Side condos and 18 new
Holes beside a dam so
Damnable that it could
Be worshipped by trolls
With holes in place of eyes;
Fuckin head-croppin hue
& Badass, golden rule
Breaking, …bastid,
Cheatin, lyin, but
Not soon dyin
…Muthas of
Doom & gray
Bedonk-a-donk
O flattery & denial…
& the piles of bloody piles….
…smiles……….everyone…………smiles……..
Pretty sure somebody else on the dbis made mention of Cormac McCarthy more recently than not all that long ago. Death, so much of it, where life once thrived as a testament to vast everyness of earth’s greatest notions to the elements & …hope springs deepest spirit.
So, if not by now, maybe you can fit em into your already abundant cerebral journeys:
Read The Road & Blood Meridian … & pick up The Legend of 1900 on DVD.
Perseverance; Peace,
