"The Masses are not mystified, the[y] have 'an explicit and positive counter-strategy', which is their complete destruction of meaning."

      god piñata

piece of the true cross · Pete Townsend whacked
   muggy as shit · we muggles
under stern pylons · pullulate steps
   eyes glued to screens · full of gloze
now the truck speeds up · clock's now heeded
   mackerel sky · amok grays
should i gather up · shards of pages
   stuck in this lane · blocked lewdly
crease of a prune toss · westerly tend
   ripples the pool · rain but raised
sing in the doldrum · you know the drill
   bodybags heap · block heaven
rotting from the top · terrible smile
   emptiness reached · into core
drive with myrmidons · in the same cars
   cobweb drooling · dreams of peace

Drab drubbing.

"By 1967, it had nowhere left to go but here: a rundown mansion in a town called Sleepy Junction, repurposed as the headquarters of an organization with the acronym M.O.T.H.E.R. — Master Organization To Halt Enemy Resistance — its three ranking agents played by men who, a generation earlier, would have been billed above the title in any picture they appeared in."
