Setting: Placards, photographs come in saloon door. Customers who can't get away begin revving, grinding noise, winch and roar until the scene cracks like a movie poster ripped from a building showing:
The planetary bulldozers are coming!
Earth movers novae
sound the air
and soot
Earth movers novae
sound the air
and soot
like the ashes
of rain, ceaseless, untiring.
of rain, ceaseless, untiring.
Planetary bulldozers are driving
witless machines into
unconscious
unconscious
beds
of streams
where antediluvial soils
will be overturned,
they
are coming,
jet engine oceans roar!
Oh what a fruit is the Earth
to be peeled and spat,
each element
divided
with a mad cat on its trail.
These are no nightmares,
these no visions.
The moon
jet engine oceans roar!
Oh what a fruit is the Earth
to be peeled and spat,
each element
divided
with a mad cat on its trail.
These are no nightmares,
these no visions.
The moon
will beat down
without an eclipse,
The sun will roll its tongue
for water, Adam
sees in the
mirror nothing
at all. It's on the Calendar,
hear the machines roar.
hear the machines roar.
The planetary bulldozers
have come to poor
earth. What
will you do
when the tow truck
stops at your door?
when the tow truck
stops at your door?
