The Hum
Because I loathe
the endless IQ-empty babble
on the radio,
that the lady seems to need,
- especially since she's cut down on working hours,
and which most likely will tear us apart -
I have resorted, more and more,
to total silence,
even though I have the love & knowledge of & need
for all kinds of music from all kinds of places & ages,
and more often than not
dream about the hum of the Earth
as my desireable death, luxurious, ever-lasting;
my return to the elements, to the soil,
to the minerals,
deconstructed, chemical by chemical,
becoming that current of the Earth,
that impersonal, ego-less hum,
like that of distant cities; Beijing, Buenos Aires, Adelaide
from afar;
like the rustle of an ant hill, or cases of tinnitus;
the opposite of dumb-ass radio
filling every time-unit with suicidal babble
from & for ass-hole primates,
so dumb that their lives are entirely in vain,
making my hunger for destruction raise the rage
of a tsunami
