Civilisation and progress: frantically
engaged..
the black car will not start and in the back
seat the fragile lady bent wrinkled leathery arthritic bent
the black car will not start
and I am alone in the
enclosure with the fragile lady bent on arthritic love
the black car will not start
the constitution gives
a push
third article
have to
fragile lady
laughter on assymetrical nose
spits poison
will not
move
"go to the square office facing the roundabout"
the black car will not start
I am alone with a small
window not enough for the collapsible column and the arthritis
in the back not enough not enough
third article
article three hypermodified new legislation against
pollution
odd shapes of silly metal burn carbons in the
black car which will not move and spits poison which titillates
the lady of the frogs to hysterical tearful laughter at eternal
suffocation
(science industry and governments promise
resolution and all plunge into more frantic activity)
car
carb carbo carbe carbi laughing frogs toads lizards speaking
fish
mono dio carbo trio quatro quarto
quarto quarto
the suffocated toads are titillated with inflammable soot
and sing a chorus of modified joy
(in preparation for
the next free elections)
quarto
modified joy and
gratitude
quarto
to the black car so fully
engaged in hysterical action preparing for the next free
elections
