The city of my nightmares

Buildings streets subway cars & other things
armconcrete steel plastics & handful of land
galaxy of artificial lights dazzling ideograms
lab-photosynthesis for stunted plants
eocenic splendor of concreteglass at sunset
traffic lights speaking idioms of photons like martians
genitals in motion in search of success
home factory and return plus existential spleen
human islands in oceans of alienation
cybernetic idiom with computers
technobrahmans planning the life of indefatigable slaves
bigbellied buddhas pushing buttons in profane sanctuaries
procession of asskissers lobbysts bums bigshots & various idols
noiseless cathedrals for chromiplated souls
bright machineries for synthetic lives
frenzy of pornostimuli & rubber genitals & sexless vaginas
twisted structures of complex ideologies
electronic notes stylized music cells
eyes gazing at the metal balls of the moon
ears auscultating cosmic groans
sleepless nights for stressed beings
coitus ante portas & sterilization against the overpopulation
morning regrets for woody lands full of oxigen
dripping of ideas sold under cost & failures of machiavellian minds
metal cemeteries for rusty corpses
symphony of mad decibels for steel eardrums
coitus in test-tubes for superfetuses
festivals of technological myths & prototypes & taboo
gestation of catastrophes in superminds
- Hitler & Company are not failed –
electroshocks for saints in convulsion in rational madhouses
brain washing & lynching & zoo for colored beings
hallucinations of asphalt & obsessions of advertising
& ecstasy of drug & nuclear terror & dreams of soft breasts
& orgies of sex & phallic symbols
lonely escapes toward the big nothing
12-tone prayers for gods in hiding
initiatory rites for conditioned humans
ghosts of huge fungi on the horizon
nights broken by hopeless invocations
and a lot of other things nobody is able to tell
