(To) forsake your Italian
For a German
Who shouts (iconically)
Is creativity
And art history.
Half the former Fatherland
Is the spiritual homeland
Of the International Proletariat —
Which must
Accept the aesthetic apparat
Of bundes republican fat.
A social project is a commodity
Conditioned by the obvious nobility
Of a geriatric
Luftwaffe reject,
Autoiconographic,
Door to door, Wall to wall …
Nobody.
It takes a careless singer
To provide a nonentity
With the identity
And the last claim to territory
Of a teacher
To fools and heroes.
Desert your Italian
For a German:
Someone wants to help you learn
The interdisciplinary
Publicity
Of complimentary (sic)
Cultural creati-creativity. SIDE TWO
