Constructing to Deconstruct… Lies, Perversions, & Other Legacies

Gradually, I put the pieces together,

ultimately, then

the edifice crumbles,

and the wall

falls.

Understanding

I don’t understand.

I don’t want to understand.

I already understand too much,

such hurt.

… Confusion reigns.

Delirium aims.

Dazed, dizzy we fall.

A Tale Of Two Cities

 

“It was amazing going to West Berlin,”

Mr One-Hit-Wonder

says to camera:

“An outpost of civilization.”

…

The washed-up, mediocre musician

muses, remembering a time when

he was so full of drugs that

he can’t remember anything

other than clichés

and baloney,

about how East Berlin was a boring, gray

Communist nightmare,

occupied by Russian savages,

suppressing freedom-loving Germans.

While the West was a cacophony

of vivid, vibrant, life and

vomit.

…

Of course, he is British.
