May as well start with the most impossible one. Notes, really, nicht
ein dichter. I think the person to read for research here isn't on a
newspaper, it's Art Spiegelman.
KATZENJAMMER COLUMBINE
I am considering how I may compare the Columbine Kids
to the Katzenjammer Kids, but because the Columbine Kids
are dead, I cannot do it.
Das jungen Katzenjammer! mit der Kaptain
(du bist unser Vater nicht, du Hund!)
und Frau Momma. O kleine Monsters,
aber cannot ein Candle hold zu Dylan und Eric,
bound to take themselves nach Valhalla,
their Wagnerian exit, Gotterdammerung
in der school library.
Ah, these inheritors of Hans and Fritz,
imagine Dennis the Menace with a Glok
Prince Violent with an assault rifle,
or Robert Crumb drawing Charlie Manson
mit der stupid beard and hair wie ein
crazyman
crazy
Hilfe uns, Gott...
