22 + 23 + 25 + 26 *

Andrew Judson Stoughton

woe so at home on the cheto bondi
39s pass empty in the night
our faces out front

a daze from the grate
could be a vision of the world

la rebelión consiste en mirar una rosa
hasta pulverizarse los ojos                                                     [what other way is there to say it?]

a hole in the night that reveals
its favorite painting

its house banners
ignite Federico Lacroze

in the storefronts we seem
like the idols the whole world has been set against
