[Reader-list] [a knife and fork, a bottle and a cork] 'here come the planes, they are american planes'

[Lachlan Brown]

pretty chilly in Toronto tonight -25 -37 windchill, so backbreaking manual labour exposed to the elements all night is out of the 
question - the price of doing cultural studies i'm afraid, 
hence i thought up a wee poem i thought to share. still have
to meter the last stanzas and this may be a bit judeo-Xtian-Islamo-centric for your readers, but i am sure it all has the same source
code ultimately.

L



let us return to the source
let us be open to the source
let us consider the clay
 
let us return to eden
gather between the rivers
and war in the garden

let us war 
and mourn again
between the rivers
where clay is still wet
 
and make our mark in mesopotamia 
our sighs in sarin
our signs in shrapnel
and contaminate the clay

let us remember
our signs in the clay
at Ur 
and the distribution of the barley and the wheat

let us war
in the garden
to spare the oil and the wine 
from the scales

let us repeat the refrain

'let us war'

or let us source, selah

let us consider the clay
the barley and the wheat
the wine and the oil 
in a balance, selah

between the rivers
where the garden will hang
on the table where we 
break bread and share wine

Let us consider the clay
and what is written there.
Let us interpret what is 
written, selah. 

or let us war!

let us war between the rivers
where the garden will hang
and make our mark in manhattan.

return sarin to sender?
anthrax address unknown?
no such nuclear number?
fallout zone?

let us return to babylon
gather between the rivers
and war in the garden

let us war

or let us source

let us return to the source
let us be open to the source
let us consider the clay

let us break bread
and share wine
 
and affirm that political discourse
and diplomacy as the more appropriate way
to resolve political disputes regarding
the distribution of resources
between the all the nations in this here time, 
pass the vinegar,
pretzels anyone?

its our choice, 
do we feel lucky, punks?
