Pain & Idiotic Joy
can’t
never could
deal
with
invention
too
mechanical
too cold
too
unfeeling
too
impersonal
and
a funny thing
happened
in the world
the uniform
premeditated
prefabricated
world of
edifice
of artifice
became mistaken
as real
as genuine
the real
the genuine
the natural
unposed
unpossessed
the world
of dirt
and wood
and sand
and water
and fire
and ice
became
the world
of the surreal
became the
freak show
of
basements
with dirt floors
coal bins
cock roaches
boys
and girls
with dirty faces
scraped knees
buck teeth
pimples
broken lines
broken windows
dust rust
all things subject
to oxidation
erosion
aging
the natural processes
of being
a natural part
of the world
you know
shit like pain
and idiotic joy
