flaccid time Enough History Guernica ahead Testicles high Splat

damned race Finger in the eye Level fart of fire The mule has given us

children of kings The precursors of the earthquake are beautiful And

when it’s your turn race Neither aryan nor cannibal but between

contraceptives and ruminants Carve me up those sphinx hooves

The pyramid that kills Walk again before the trap Who will

want my corpses Awarded to the mouse trap We know the

score We will see everyone you and I the absolution of

the bulls But language yes language I learn to reason at the threshold

of letters Ali and Fatima will no longer read Bashir and his friends The

fez then The street-children who win the prizes Gifted despite it all

Assimilation, an old wives’ tale We sleep off the moonshine

Civilisations I detest you I say I will quench you narcotics No

drugs to forget No neon promiscuity But fighting of the not

too distant Rif war I know what I’m talking about Explosive

mixture And cover your ears The sun will no longer rise in the east Your

blue zeal Agadir the sardines the sardine-men encased in white tin become

thistle men thistles free to rot where they like But there is no Koutoubia

the tombs of the Marinids the tombs of the Saadis and the legend of Chellah

Budget of ruins

race digging to reach the level of the glands

further

race

named during my blackouts
