The future
How massive seems the sky inflated with pages
fever folded into piffle journalism, it is more
than to be coped with. Come love me then
if thou art famished. If the fire has gone from art.
And music, well, its dire straits are everywhere
the nurture of tattoos across bellies
each fresh in the white discharge of phoneland
distext of modern teeth and kisses.
If I’m receiving you that I may be filled.
And later, to be kissed by the sea
amongst salt and dogs, a bulging sun.
Our hunger swoops upon our dreams
The revolution is in the messagebank
Taste the devil’s details! And let’s see.
