the world’s condition
was never intended
to forego the pleasure
of a passing hope
for no reason

not yet defined by madness
bury our lives in circus tents
and the black solitude of time
leaks away the hours
what is there
to frighten us
but the curse of ego?

How is it possible that a tub or is it a ton of lard sticks his hands in a vat of oil soaked french fries greasing his followers taste buds for blatant lies and the sheer antics of his money broker Musk milking the cows being led to slaughter could never have been dreamt up by the maddest surrealist or dadist…
how is it possible? that’s the same question I ask myself. and my answer — the obvious answer — is that the Americans who adore him are little different in their idolatry from the Germans who adored Hitler.
