Fucking money


We are all in the hive

industrious or not

all flashing something


like it was an exchange of some sort,

a communion for profit,

you buying?


So, having numbered that

we move on without a purpose

like sails dead without wind


like slow motifs that give off

a frustrated and furious chant

that makes it real, just like you want it.


Life as we want it,

we are connected,

but hardly to each other.


Switch, jerk off, switch

easy money, like porn

and pedling questionable favors,

you buying?


Like God I've got it,

whatever you want,

I am selling you all I am, man,

living on it


and not just sitting on bedsores,

besides you have to somehow pay for that bed anyway.


And that's that too, then,

I'd rather sit on an ice raft

pushed out to the sea when dementia comes,

the way of the elders,


Mocking and blaspheming,

spitting, farting,

crazy and deranged.


The lot's never vacant anymore,

so if we accept human rights,

we have to expect casualties.


Better not you align with the enemy,

give flesh to the target, man the dichotomy,

nor afford sadness or grief,

lest they leave you volatile

and too smart for it,


You better be,

that's how you don't need a pimp.


And I've just found someone new

to talk about my terminal solitude

raking the falling words

like dead leaves.


Or do you believe

we can make a difference

– although not amends, of course.


It's all a big mess anyway,

so who could make the difference,

see them from each other,

unfolding, becoming.


Surely ripe enough

to appreciate dying in the end,

so that we don't need to plead

from fate.


We have conned the money for the ferry

and will all make it across the river


as if already there,

but here, and heretofore


we shant forget

that we must demand

to be thus included


brothers and sisters of living tissue

we will have to insist, even if disputed


and especially then, lest we choose to disappear alltogether.


But meanwhile

as I have my way with you

you have your way with me


the way of blood and disappointment.


And there's oh so much in the blood,

it'll make you squirm at times.


So you wont be standing straight – how could you?


You sometimes occupy a mere crawlspace,

having crashed from such high altitudes


to sit at the john

as the bowels jerk you


just as them appendixes,

hands and cocks,

crevices burnig with yearning


scream you to sleep

acting out on desires

that make you want and need


as if you could be satisfied

when even your modesty can't


nor can you function

on plain description,

admit to total death.


Thus thou art compelled

to forfit the human perspective

and let you run on all fours


hind mocking the sordid face.


The reptilian innocence

insulted by income taxes


rebel lion roaring

in the empty streets

mourning the solitude of the ferocious.


Maybe you sigh,

and turn to your dreams,

mostly oulawed for being so unproductive


better you just dream

in the house all the daddies and mommies

of the world have built

if they let you in


to wait on your legacy,

hoping they would never leave you

and make you fully responsible


like the poor and the orphaned

who never had anything

unless they just took it

and ran away with it.


There's something fishy about it,

to suggest such questioning of property rights,

like those left wing exorcists prowling on your inheritance.


That's it! They've got it all wrong,

they should have earned it,

like you did when you was borned.


All this shit distracting your high end brooding,

void of values imposed by petty squalls

for food and freedom.


No, there's nothing post-modern in hunger

and there's nothing post-mortem in ownership.


That's metabiosis, man.

You need no license to practice,

strictly all in,

no hogging the bottle,

you filthy degenerate,

I'm surprised you can even stand


and mind you, if you fall first,

I'll eat you, only fair.


Just standing in awe

of fucking money,

of course,

wouldn't you,


like the dog quivering in reverence

because of the unrefutable logic of it,

that coital currency


it is the only tangible and quantitative

value system around

as if God materialized on the palm of your hand

twenty fold, you know what it feels like


for you have prostituted

to make it real


worshipped with state of the art rituals

with good faith and due cynicism.


Yes, money let's you bow to other idols,

it's majesty abates such jealousy.


You can have other gods,

just acknowledge that such petty fools

have no say when it comes to fucking money.


How much?


To buy the infectuous stigma of poverty off of you,

wash it away with luxury,

and let them smell expensive on you,


feeling the rush of ultimate power,

wouldn't you?


Can't help it,

it does always feel like blasphemy

when someone questions

such a feeling, and the omnipotence

of your fucking money.

Evasive but endless other

When you see the line between dream and reality breached

You know there's no way back to intact truth

  • and yes, it was all subjective to begin with


Thus loving the world becomes like loving

 


an ever evasive other, your lover that never becomes one with you,

at best intimately close, skin on skin.


But do stop to realize

that you are other to everything else,

part of the same fragmented self.


Always half asleep,

and the dream was beyond you to begin with.
