That Dada Strain

That Dada Strain

That Dada Strain

the zig zag mothers of the gods
of science       the lunatic fixed stars
& pharmacies
fathers who left the tents of anarchism
unguarded
the arctic bones
strung out on saint germain
like tom toms
living light bulbs
aphrodisia
“art is junk” the urinal
says “dig a hole
“& swim in it”
a message from the grim computer
“ye are hamburgers”

aphrodisia
“art is junk” the urinal
says “dig a hole
“& swim in it”
