Subject: snap bricolage & duet
*Linfen bricolage*
The buildings outside our door which
create our courtyard and badminton court
are being gutted
windows partitions old chairs
brick walls floor tiles
everything up and out
demolished each day
from dawn to dusk with
hand hammers and chisels
sledge-hammers and drills
walls now gape like skulls
In the dust and rubble
a workman with his Mao cap on
back of his head
hammers old nails into
demolition wood to
create his own ladder -
a ragged 'z' pattern between
two pieces of wood nailed in
at an angle as each new step -
nothing 'true' but
his spirit was on the level:
*waste not, want not*
As I pass I smile
and tap a step -
'Solid!' I say. 'Ni hao'
he grins and replies
in a Linfen dialect
of dust and stoicism
*Duet*
As I walked out late yesterday
along the campus road to the gate
among pedestrians going
both ways hither and thither
I heard a trained cultured voice =96
male, operatic =96
singing quietly to itself,
'Maria, Maria' then Mandarin lyrics.
I couldn't understand
so I asked him 'You sing "Maria"?'
He shook his head wildly.
I said, 'You know, "Maria" from
*West Side Story* ...' he shook
his head some more =96 so I sang on
and he joined me and we sang
down the road to the gate,
my English 'Maria' and his Chinese song.
At the gate, between smiling sentries,
I tapped him on the shoulder and said,
'Same melody has got me thinking
it's the same bloody song, pal!'

Subject: Snap
The Silence At The End Of A Marriage
The floor is slick with the blood of green ideas,
murdered last night in their furious sleep
while those of us on the dance floor begged, Please,
a colorless song to claim as our own! And keep
those caged and naked echoes of desire
hanging high above us, where they're safe.
The killers have not fled: They hang you higher,
and their eyes on you are tight enough to chafe
the tender skin you wouldn't know you had
except that they have wrapped you in their gaze.
Paralysis-they insist it's in your head,
and you believe them-infiltrates your days
and you live your nights in dreams of failed escape.
That's you: a failure dreaming sleepless of escape.
Rich Newman

Subject: snap after Christmas

in Liscard last week's decorated
bright tinsel tree looks withered
like it caught some rags
and they're left billowing
in the wind
dispirited the afterworks
of Christmas=20
undecorate themselves
a string of lights=20
zig zag the road
between the shops
many dead unbright
burned out black glass
bulbs hang like corpses
=20
shops are all sales
of aftershock stock remnants=20
someone had a party=20
left all the rubbish behind
an eBay for the computerless
=20
here too the dull-eyed
weary wander
to the sound of worn-out
Christmas songs
tired-of-it-all parents
count the days till
back-to-school beckons
=20
on a sale bargain TV screen
pictures of the aftermath
of car bombs in a Bagdad street
as Shane MacGowan starts to sing
"It's Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank"=20
