Zuirch 2016 extended (draft/unfinished)

 



A most insatiable covetousness, divided that among themselves with which all the rest might have been well supplied, are far from that happiness that is enjoyed among the Utopians; for the use as well as the desire of money being extinguished. 

Thomas More 



Zurich behind a rust packet 

my cacodylic eye spent 

collapsed turbulent 

tectonics of bumps, 

kidney shaped abscesses

curling black lids fading shells

exploding firebox all screws 

& bolts dead 227 figures 

meant for Linz Entartete 

Tyrol locks Germania 

in a thousand springs 

on Bahnhofstrasse 

unconditional Basic Income

scolded Schlaraffenland 

underneath the light there is always

intervening on the ground 

the pie-tree

so filched another rent-rising 

to clear pales & dapple-greys 

all but rain 

between the buildings & 

you settle wet wrapt’d churning 

this sodden silent aperture

on tumuli Blancpain 

ditch of frogs 

little accelerators 

new virtues waking harborage 

of masseuse chairs in Hauptbahnhof 

are actual police hidden between 

proxy codes wire to wire 

the noises it makes

living the pissed out communiques

as doctrine or filigree the finest truffles 

from Kernzone 

are buried in Heimplatz 

guarded by probers

secrets wrapped 

in amice rust 

& muted song 

the bedsporned cultus of medicine 

is cruel paste trespassing 

my reuptakes & 

so I go again 

into this suffering city.
