Joseph Ceravolo: Feast of Visions

Instead it's that one damn spot

on the stained glass walls

of Mexico that looks like a man

wading his way in mud or water.

Seizure! blue wailing

questionnaires of noonday

under the rotting trees.

Gracias mis amigos,

the river has much mud

and he works for el gobierno

de Mexico

guarding trees,

riding a bicycle.

Oh mean women beating sheep,

sweep the dog shit

of three thousand dogs and niños

from your two foot sidewalks.

Tomorrow the fiesta

and mucho people

walk and see sun in river,

and cross over new

modern bridge made of pipes.

Ah, the dark eyes that

penetrate all the edificios

on the avenue.

The fiesta's fine, it

makes everyone think

that everything's just right.

Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): Feast of Visions, Iztacalco, Mexico City, Fall 1960, from Transmigration Solo (1960-1965), in Collected Poems (2012)

All those amazon prime boxes stackt at your door all this free act now all this jimmy jeff in a jiffy

all this shame you don't feel murica

all this compunction you don't have

all this world you're happy to fuck up unless it's yours and if yours gaze deep, deep into the mopey teutonic death abyss o' th'Emperial eyes

just at the point where we're holding our breath because the mother of the mother of all bombs is about to be dropt on Montenegro
and scream no, this isn't what you wanted after all

but the no refund policy turns out to be a guaranteed coming home to roost of the swooping and diving midnight pain birds

to which you have given birth

'Very aggressive': Trump suggests Montenegro could cause world war three: The president also called into question the common defence principle of Nato in an interview with Fox News: The Guardian, Wed 18 Jul 2018 22.32 EDT (extract)

Donald Trump has drawn fresh scorn for attacking Montenegro, whose people he described as “very aggressive”, suggesting the small nation could be the cause of a third world war.

Days after a widely-criticised summit with his Russian counterpart, Trump’s comments were decried as a “gift to Putin”.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump also called into question Nato’s founding principle. He was asked about Article 5, Nato’s common defence clause which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all.

“Why should my son go to Montenegro to defend it from attack?” Fox host Tucker Carlson asked.

Trump responded: “I understand what you’re saying. I’ve asked the same question.”

“Montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people ... They’re very aggressive people. They may get aggressive, and congratulations, you’re in world war three,” he added.

'Me first, loser!' he said. 'Congratulations, out of the way, I'm doing a great job, I love Israel as much as Pooty does, you'll see, you're fired, you're in world war three!'

Boy howdy we about to git some we comin for you montenegro! we have way more head injuries per capita than you guys could ever hope to have suckers!

University of North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora was talking about that just the other day as we strolled down head injury no memory lane, on campus. Larry believes the rule changes implemented in recent years to limit head injuries and make football less violent are going to have grave consequences for the sport and America’s military.

“Our game is under attack,” Fedora said on Wednesday at the ACC’s preseason media day in Greensboro. “I fear that the game will get pushed so far to one extreme and then our most sacred institutions, like head injuries, will be reduced to the degree that you won’t have as much impact violence 10 years from now. And I do believe that if it gets to that point, that our country goes down, too.”

Boss man is right. Crazy Monteniggers will be the death of us all.

The photographs by Tzen Xing are remarkable
