Harper “making jobs”

but even election fraud

is done by robots

When the Lights Went Out - Little Wolves part 3/3

When the lights went out

we just shrugged it off

and for a few hours

lost in a candle-

lit nostalgia haze

we spoke in whispers

filling the bath-tub

and pissing outside

“will the lights come back?”

was only a joke

but each day they stayed off

we laughed quieter

And when the phones died

we picked up old cans

and just made pretend

It must have been three,

must have been three days

before worry set in

snow started to pile

the stored up water

running out by drops

The first pack of wolves

came on the seventh day

barked gunshot and fire

locking us downstairs

they could help themselves

to warm clothes and cans

of what little we had.

Then batteries died

and the gas ran out

and even the good

people went crazy

and the wolves wanted

wanted anything

that could be eaten

or chewed or just fucked

first thieves then looters

then scavengers and

finally mad men

When the sun went out

we were still the same

and we sank into

the cold and the dark

and hid from the wolves

Another Male Endeavour (Piston Pumping Reckless)

Another Very male endeavour

and time magazine matter of fact

tells me that the spatial reasoning of a woman

is inferior

The use being gluttonous

The awareness of the space which you inhabit

used only to reach out and pull back

to gather

armfulls

of whatever you want

To plunge shovels and pistons and buckets

and cocks

Theft at it’s most absolute pure

is to steal from the unborn

I guess this one is kind of about the melancthon Mega-quarry but really I wanted to talk about greed and men and greedy men.

Thomas Eakins, The Gross Clinic, 1875

From the Philadelphia Museum of Art:

Dr. Samuel D. Gross appears in the surgical amphitheater at Jefferson Medical College, lit by the skylight overhead. Five doctors (one of whom is obscured by Dr. Gross) attend to the young patient, whose cut left thigh, bony buttocks, and sock-clad feet are all that is visible to the viewer. Chief of Clinic Dr. James M. Barton bends over the patient, probing the incision, while junior assistant Dr. Charles S. Briggs grips the patient’s legs and Dr. Daniel M. Appel keeps the incision open with a retractor. The anesthetist (Dr. W. Joseph Hearn) holds a folded napkin soaked with chloroform over the patient’s face, while the clinic clerk (Dr. Franklin West) records the proceedings. A woman at the left, traditionally identified as the patient’s mother, cringes and shields her eyes, unable to look. Confident of the outcome of the operation, Dr. Gross calmly and majestically turns to address his students, including the intent figure of Thomas Eakins, who is seated at the right edge of the canvas.
