By Christopher Mulrooney

where were you
while the morning stars sang
why I was receiving
my jobation thank you
very much
as the anchorman
said to the weather girl

j’ai la plaie
dit-elle
on sait
en vérité
ma foi
regarde-moi
s’il vous plaît
la tourterelle

Blondie’s back
in a very curious remake
all her kids are clones

the newsreel features
professional wrestling

who’s playing the trumpet
in the second row?

roaring lustfully
like Bashan bulls
the loudspeakers
stampede
