Notes For A Play I Don't Want To Be In

they tried to ram it down our throats

the notion that Beauty should not be at all

except as a slogan for The Revolution

as if there had never been revolution before

only this one in short term memory stored

so raze it all at one blow: like the little tailor, you know,

who swatted all the flies at the jam pot assuring his Name.

raze it to the ground don't hesitate

crime won't wait.and only crime pays

beauty truth and goodness down all rivers sold

and God is dead again

the doors bolted and locked. the sorrow at the dock

King Arthur out to sea.

what should it mean to me.

coolly he flicked the ashes away

the ashes of civilization, say, you know what I mean

the king for a day laconically, the king of all disposals

sifting 3 minute proposals
