Ton van 't Hof & Leevi Lehto
eyeball-aching ballast

affecting aspects of human life, on a non-raining day, the predestinated pedestrians
peddling dope on a zebra crossing, pill-popping gossip gone by the wind

in wooden tone (wd intone): "The Bussibilleties Are Intinife." "The
Wrestling Nudes (men & women) Orgasized Into Searchable Flutter." (as if

this wd include molecular biology, genetics and embriology of the maxillo-facial
but HELL NO - it's not a matter of turning the feel-good factor into flesh

of the said Zebra, still st-t-tuttering in the selfsame wind, lest become glacial
or marrying an old man for his cash - A human e life is full of danger

if also besticles!) Indeed the festivalleties are starting to look good at this point
dolled up banstickles are gesticulating: ???? - a passer-by blows himself up

as one of them drives to the park, finds dead man. Hears sound, runs out
of roe but luckily meets a loud chatting pregnant single woman [crucial test

since I'm only Tolkin in Spingues now] who, alas, what the *&^!!###!~%))((??!!!", which
eyeball-aching mystery is exposed beneath the ballast pile? what fingers

now point back to it, to her, her history, his lack of history, the poem,
a Zebra Song, that spin-dried sliced us foot this summer - we flap in replica.

We flip in La Republica. Text-Dosing in Dallas. It's my mystery now. Yours.
day after day. and the eye s e y e s in our head s s e e the world spinnin g a r o u n d
