THIS IS SO FUNNY, 

THIS EXISTENCE 

LASTING FOREVER

I throw an occasional iconoclastic bomb

I guess I do I suppose I do  -  they land and

crack something, usually my own skull.

All that glitters is not gold, but some things

are  -  those are the ones I go after : Grendel

and Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh too. I

love the source of all things : my Mesopotamia

of a mind runs silent through marshes drained

by Saddam after thousands of years : every bastard

of history's take has done the same thing, smashing

idols like nothing mattered. A big Mao and a big

Pol Pot  -  pictures abrupt, hanging over the heliport.

-

I think I'm going back. I think I'm going back.

This existence lasts forever.
