Die Korallenkette, Wilhelm Gallhof
Sometimes not safe for work.
I
The bartender
Has eyes the color of ripe apricots
Easy to please as a cash register he
Enjoys art and good jokes.
Squish
Goes the painting
Squirt
Goes the poem
He
We
Laugh.
II
It is not easy to remember that other people died
besides Dylan Thomas and Charlie Parker
Died looking for beauty…
A non-crying bartender am I, but…
Three Halloween costumes inspired by the artwork of Roy Lichtenstein, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol. Very creative!

Toronto, 1992 The lights came up and they were playing Spinning Away — a song about a painting — And the waning of the promise of the synthesizer met the first sweet rush of queer cinema Now I can’t tell if the broke-down third-way Moog-utopia the kids today are working out is just nostalgia or if they constitute an opposition to their peers who are like yeah I wear flip-flops because it’s all good Children of empire! Out on the water Sea-birds ships named after poets Then I think of painting photos – how Richter uses it to reassert the dominance of an older art – The casing on the earphones brushes past your lower lip Andrew! Tell me what poetry should be about – A note in my notebook says, if your poems are based on optimism about people you are fucked Little empty Starfleet Academy in the Port of Oakland Colors singing out from under movements of the squeegee
The mighty Andrew Joron sailing by
I have a list of band names that comes close
But I don’t believe it
A little bit of Know Your Enemy
