Bad DJ’s and good tequila
A government
that most people
Never voted for
Pornographic novelty
Tits and tatoos
Ironic sexism
Smoke driven Saturdays
World famous bartenders
Vanilla candles
And garlic toast
Dried tomatoes
Supersized bottles of wine
Punk rock iPad
Industries of pleasure
No no no
treasure
It’s not all bad
It’s just some bad
A different kind of poetey
A life with no back echo
Steps without resonence
I do not wish to wake
Each morning
In front of a mirror.
I prefer to see more in looking
I don’t always need lights
And amplification
These are the tools
Research
And love
But they are not love
Love is love
It’s always this way
And always will be
Love is a house of warmth
(This poem was originally recited on November 16, at The Loft in Mulhouse, France)
