You are a cynic
so you told me Gina
you are boisterous
just because I didn’t give you a child
just because there is no ceauşescu anymore to issue insemination acts
to sanction rape
you are looking at my middle finger as though it was a miracle
how come so much pleasure in a sack of bones
Gina how you roll on the sheets
how you roll your eyes like a bald vulture
ready for his decisive attack on Buggs Bunny
I would write a romantic novel a nadir_latent on the web
so that the virtuals would be bemused with me and my feelings
I would do so much for you if I had the will
that is otherwise
just a vodka ration away

I am standing in the queue
for chickens frozen by the global situation
and
the unsuccessful hippie movement
and to exchange impressions and allotments with the pensioners
surprised by an unexpected erection they feel it necessary to find an explanation
an excuse and a new denial just like Jarmush’s goat redenies
a good script but
what’s the advantage
I say
what’s the advantage
until the end when everything has to separated
classified into the good and the bad
the ying and the yang
the successes and the failures
and
other things
if I had been wiser at the cold counter
waiting for the frozen chickens
that are not arriving fuck are never going to anymore …
