MODA
No, I donât want to stay at your place.
I need time and space and odder hours to deal with
a spectacular national celebration unequalled
since Expo â67 in Montreal. Itâs not fair to
expect me to adhere to your eccentricities.
No, I donât want to stay at your place.
I will have my own. What a city! But no.
Iâm coming. But no. I canât possibly stand
a spectacular national celebration unequalled
since the 1851 Worldâs Fair in London.
I found a hotel. Itâs cheap. A legacy project. Moda. So
no, I donât want to stay at your place.
Travel, uneasy. Your city, stifling.
Everyone clamours their cultural capital there, at
a spectacular national celebration unequalled
since Deculturation. I will write a poem, meet for whiskey.
You will bring me a gift and i will get sick and you will insist, but
no, I donât want to stay at your place.
Iâm sure itâs spectacular, unequalled.
PLANNED ADOLESCENCE
Heâs a victim of planned adolescence
never quite equipped, a shy man
recursive, explicit, dismissive.
Training-wheel reason
and militant obsolescence confirms
heâs a victim of planned adolescence.
