Songs of Marcel

In an anemic world

I am absurd. I am a fish dying on a barren shore.

I am Sophocles, Spartacus,
And St. Sarcastic,
Patron saint of lost causes.

If canned soup and urinals are art,
I am a narcissistic, artistic, dilettante…
Deceiver seducer of mediocre meddling minor characters of a silent film played backwards with Italian dubs.

Some like it hot,
I like it tepid, sometimes harshly cold,
But never hot…
Never the speed with which mothlights moved across the empty screen.

And I am big,

It’s the pictures that got small.
