history is not taught /
to the people it happens to /
something else is seen at the time /
an actual spleen, muscular organ /
tumbling down the street /
even without a back wind /
it rolls over glass pieces /
and abandoned strollers /
write a song backwards /
that’s a real education /
focus on the tightening boxes in the cabinet /
how an abstract becomes /
a dark, rifled hole /
no map, just volume expanding /
in the radicals’ dry shower centred in the street /
imagine the others wealth naked /
more stretched mouth and teeth /
than flagging genitals around the banquet /
aliens to our sun /
place that child down on the curb /
time for the rally /
aim the bus over the cliff /
if the few can count on you /
a grand canyon for party policy /
they refuse to be buried /
waking from nothingness each morning /
claiming the country’s shores over again /
books get smaller over time /
small enough to blow away /
with the bicentennial candles /
satisfied to be told to hold /
the fireworks in your mouth /
