WONDERFUL
THERE’S STILL TIME FOR IT TO BE WONDERFUL
I saw a giant black truck A monster truck plough into
a christmas crowd Full tilt Santa impaled on a steel pole
gingerbread debris Annus Horribilis 2016
If we could live it backward +have all the firsts to wait for
the firsts would be last +the last would be birth A death of
a different sort It’s like the films that really reach into the
human experience lay it bare Show us what we always knew
was out there
Like the aliens who land +suck us into their tubers
Like the cancer the one your great grandmother flew
to the Mayo for
Living it backward would turn mortality on its head Show
us how in spirit form we don’t need these radiated bodies
anymore Remember pre-birth you swam! Non-weight
bearing shower room to your right said the nice lady at the
retirement home
Annus 2016 I saw a reality tv star voted president of the world
that thinks it’s free Tell me over+over again my friend we’re on
the eve of destruction Or are we? Living it backward would bring
us to the mother of all re-births No?
Back to a time when we worshipped Earth round+fecund When we
knelt before rotund thigh+belly When Venus of Willendorf was a
supermodel 28,000 BCE Hey a girl can dream
Don’t be afraid
Fuck the cancer
Take no prisoners
Bring on 2017
