   "Living in the Ruins" (The Good German)

city of secrets
sustained and inspired
shadows
a little enhanced
and all is alleys
high walls shuttered
windows behind which

the dark recognitions
how did you find this place

blame everything on the war
a turntable
can spin
light through the trees
falling
money half trampled
underfoot

these are not deutschmarks
in the moonlight
echoing
a little too precisely
and i find the light switch
notebooks filled
with a running tally

same four walls
that's all i know
i'm a Nazi
in this city of secrets


It occurred to me the other day that Lobster Boy should be done as a computer-animated movie, kind of in the vein of Frank Miller's Sin City. It'd be great--& what a portrait of our times!
