WHEN YOU GO FOR THE FACE by B+J DINI

 

when you go for the face
that is the end of time

and place

you have to get round the eyes

bright and full of human dyes

they have to roll like marbles or little flies

DESPERATELY BRIMMING, buzzing and sore

the mouth that said those three words or more

has to curl, drool and bleed like a whore

the forehead that thought those high temple grounds

cloudily racing round their rounds

has to be dented like an old car, thrown out in the heap

the clouds rained of all their water, and so rained they weep.

when you go for the lover’s face

that is the end of time

and space  

the hair that smelled like the morning, chaste

has to be uprooted, the fruit bruised, of all taste

the cheeks that were brushed to sleep, with finger brushes, paste

all caved in now and the brushes, brooms

to sweep away in haste   

when we met i knew your name and place

before you spoke

but i don’t remember you ever spoke

only the softly singing kind of poke

I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOUR FACE,

so full of time and space

i could not stop looking, but you kept your pace

your eyes matched the grass, your hair curled like the bushes  

a MILLION of those tiny ambushes.  

you returned every lightning glance with care

you did not blame me for my secret stare

that is why i could not return the BEAT OR BITE OR TEAR--------

that face is all i want to remember, or dare

there is not much left to say

there is something in you that wants to make me pay

like a bank at the end of the river day

you are the wolf backed into the hanging tree

afraid to be alone in the people sea

who all die alone and eat each other, slowly …….

like waves waving forever away------

or a bird that lost its prey.

you are the tanks rolling in

you are the thunder banging again

a force of nature, inhuman plunder

indifferent like carbon and decay

you would go all the way

you would take the very breath away

if you had your say.

i don’t know if they got to you finally, the city that DOESN'T care

the clubs that cash in on the perennial scare

the people who say nothing but NOT SO SECRETLY stare

or if they only brought out what’s already there,

as anything can ever do,   

you wonderful woodland creature you----

but now the third eye spot that flushed full hue

every time you said you’d stay

turned purple, black and gray

and like my mouth wired shut in that bloody Bay

there is only a chorus of scars where lips should pray:::::

“WHO WILL HOLD YOU NOW WHEN THE BOMBS FALL

AS WE FIGHT THESE TINY WARS AMONGST OURSELVES SO SMALL

THE CITY’S SKELETONS CONTINUE TO CRAWL

WHERE WE SHOULD PULL TOGETHER THE FLAMES RISE HIGHER

AS WE CONTINUE TO THROW EACH OTHER ON THE PYRE

WHERE IS THE FORWARD MARCH, THE HOLY SEE 

THE MILLENIAL COUNTER CONSPIRACY 

ALL WE SEE ARE SHADOWS AND GHOSTS READY TO FLEE

AT THE FIRST FEW TRUMPET CALLS OF A NEW REALITY

THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN, THE CLOCK IS NOW TICKING

ARE WE A COMMUNITY OF THIEVES, ARE THESE WOUNDS WORTH LICKING 

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LADDERS, ONE BY ONE

THROWING THE LOWER ONES UP ON THE HIGHER RUNG

BUT NOW THE LADDERS ARE ALL HANGING, ALL ARE HUNG

AND SOLOMON’S SONG STOPPED SINGING, IS SUNG

AS RAMSES MAKES HIS FINAL STAND

DR MANHATTAN PLAYS HIS NUCLEAR HAND

THE DNA IN THE BLOOD JOINS THE TERTIARY STRAND

THAT TRICKLES FROM THIS PLACE------"

for when you go for the beloved’s face

there is nothing more to say

a relentless folding under

of time and space

the cosmic man retreats,

there is no dawn of a new day

but at least I’ll always

remember you that way. 

MOLLEY CYPRUS AND THE WHITE NESS MONSTER by B+J Dini

molley cyprus twerking is whiter than her backup dancers twerking

cuz she is doing the same thing but she is getting paid more

and her backup twerkers are whiter than that african tribe who started the twerk

because they are just africans not americans who aren’t getting paid at all

and that is black culture

not john coltrane or james baldwin

just like trayvon martin who was an african and an american who got killed by

george zimmerman who is also american but whiter cuz he is latino

but latinos are less white than the spanish who colonized them

and the spanish are less white than the italians

cuz italians are mediterranean and they are always lying around on the beaches and have dark skin but the italians have the pope and the pope wears all white and is the whitest thing in the world

but the german lutherans protested against the pope so they are less white but they had hitler and so they are more white than the british who fought against the nazis

but they are less white than the americans because the americans were oppressed and had their war of independence and their bill of rights and their half black president from the same country as the african twerkin tribe

because there is only one country in africa just like there is only one country in europe and only one state in america not even a north or a south not even a civil war not even native americans just like all the colors dissolve into white light and white light isn’t an absence but a fullness and they all do the same things and therefore only have one NESS

just like there was white on white slavery in europe and black on black slavery in africa but the difference is the NESS in africa aren’t getting paid as much and therefore white people invented slavery just like black people invented twerking

because getting paid has something to do with the NESS because that is CAPITALISM and CAPITALISM isn’t just about all capital letters its an essence NESS like a ghost or a specter that hangs over europe because CAPITALISM was started by europeans like adam smith who wrote in all CAPS and are

more white than latinos

who are more white than africans   

who are less white than African Americans

cuz merchants and bazaars and markets where things are sold or made or haggled or bartered haven’t always existed in every culture around the world and everyone hasn’t always wanted to have their own private tent where they can do their own private shit and communism isn’t a pale white ghost or essence NESS that leads to “dictatorships of the proletariat” that never get past the dictatorship part

cuz karl marx wasn’t white he was jewish and jews have been enslaved and slaughtered everywhere just like africans

but they are richer and more successful because they have lighter skin and bigger noses

and some like the zionists even have their own state and are even more white because they are oppressing palestinians

unlike africans who don’t have their own state and have flatter noses and therefore do not benefit as much from the NESS

because culture has nothing to do with it

and talking about culture is racist

which brings us back to the monster that rears its ugly head in the swamp marsh of all our mental associations

and maybe the world would be a better place if we stopped hunting all the NESSES loched in each other and we started hunting real monsters

like our half black president whose reptilian puppetmasters want to bomb SYRIA and start world war three against us all because we don’t have green lizard skin 

like the NESS
