With bells ringing

    and people meddling;

and children around a bonfire

      singing:

ring-a-ring-a-dollar

a pocket full of squalor.

Of all the aphrodisias of the all worlds

to make this final vision

not in amorosa but in the incincerator.


That pup is now a green eyed beast:

upon my mouth,

  sits some sunlit fantasy


upon some sunlit breast;

now we find a shower of heat

   through the soles of our feet;

it burns a hole in our head


and when our brains shall be burnt,

        we shall be ate;

and our ashes lie around a blackened stump

      to survey mysterious skies, deadened:

           the sparkle that went out with that fire

             we glimpse in far away star


          called Eden.

Once we descended with pride, 

now we are in free fall like a dying meteor.

 “Dollarisma, Serenissima”

   is the princely constellation

    of which we are victim,

as every particle of what is left

  makes a journey into nursery rhyme.


And those who believe in eternal life

have only the glare of publicity

  with which to light their path;


and the friendship of a cancerous dog

with which to howl into the night.

    There’s my father skiing with his brother,



skiing with another,



    neither his wife nor his mother



are around



and as the brother is bachelor confirmed



   this is awkward



as the boy looks like a girl



   which troubles me as daughter.



I shall tell Mummy about this beauty:





   and the chalet shall be a little cool later.

  Mein dame and mien herr,

Bavarian girls

   race themselves

to the point of powerful men

   in powerful cars amen.

At five hundred miles per hour,

   feel their thrust:

to remember those corners

   and curls

of the Munich girls.

  In the minds of business,

there is not much light between them

   and plenty of thrills

on the Strasse of curves and spills.

   What’s fair for the dame,

is fair for the herr.

 

   So let them both run:

one to catch the other,

   although I could not tell

which was dog and which was hare;

   after all,

this is Bavaria.

 At the stroke of blackberry,

along electronic highway –

   for a moment in this mouth.

A sign in neon,

   of killer app,

  a signal that all three were relieved about.

      A tendency to destruct

           in all this driving about,

               dumb but with receiver on.

To my blackberry, I always report back.

of colours and squiggles

   the mighty dollar

      blows deadly like

El Nuno:

      riding in patrol

a paper beast with secret signal,

      a smell draws the dogs on.

and now, pup,

paying ourselves for what goes up and up

to eclipse the eclipse,

to let it rip.

and everything moving –

   saddle and booted,

      you rough-riding vigilante.

I’m told out west

   you can be completely innocent.

what is this peak you speak of?

of what nobody is sure and dare not speak of.

sail then, sail across the sea and marry me

   just as a mountain,

      an enormous arm wrestle.

so we bless god for this, our genesis,

                      in splendour silent.

                 where there is more to print

                                    literally;

we print more in green ink;

      gladly, gladly

            we pioneer

   with heads of heads, of news

      where blinded and broke –

            busted,

                  with bills to pay with more bills

            along a stony path of thrills

      littered with i owe you’s.

a printing machine

   literally;

            with which to cover our naked pulse,

to recall each leaf,

      its beauty helped us cross ourselves,

            saint something

                  unknown, completely naked –



                      green it was.

paying ourselves for what goes up and up

   to eclipse the eclipse,

      to let it rip.

and everything moving –

   saddled and booted,

      you rough-riding, green-backed individual

      out along highways

I’m told out here

   the verdict is always innocent.

      so what is this peak,

            revolver ?

sure, speak, stranger.

   the good doctor,

the doctor dollar would say

      would say to me,

run away and marry me,

      loaded and smoked.



   and bless god by and for genesis,

      as what we owe

            is a summary of information.

                  

               with this thing, it’s all or nothing

                     no half and half will do

                              i guess i owe, i owe to you

                   a snafu or something;

                  a pup to stroke like it was all newed.
