The times of wonder have gone
the wise women drugged
into submission.
Forensic psychology reveals traces
of long-forgotten faces
which, much like Munch's silent scream,
degenerate into nightmaredream.

Desire, in all its lurid manifestations,
falls into disuse,
& all is as it was before:
a flat, grey concrete floor,
Krema I at Auschwitz
eminently productive
340 corpses burned every 24 hours
this was indeed progress of the sort required.

Arbeit macht frei!

Weaponising the common man and woman
an act of genius
yes, monsters exist
but much more dangerous
is the common man
ready to act without question.
yes, plenty of those in our nation.
