'Truly creative realism is eschatological realism. it takes the line not of reflecting the natural world, and not of adjustment to it, but of changing and transforming the world.' --Nicolas B*rdya*v, Th* B*ginning and th* 3nd (1941)
"Davos
Red and blue flicker · the forces of order restored, Bad Jesus.
Elaborate panning shots · above the nighttime city, Bad Jesus.
In our tiny lit abode · as the coffeemaker gurgles
I hear the cackling and the crackling · of the rain, Bad Jesus.
Twitching in the semi-dark · shoppingcenter parkinglot
as I took out the store trash, · grounded stray parakeet, Bad Jesus.
Redifiably impocerous · urban camo halter top
"American Idol" wannabe · and Osama's pic again, Bad Jesus.
New York Times impeachment ad · and the polar bears slipping off
their crumbling blue ice floes · bloody bathroom towels, Bad Jesus."
--Lydia Daily, Immy Aliquot (2005)
