the specialist--interpol

in 2004
i used to listen to this rare interpol song
over and over and over

and ponder whether or not it was about heroin addiction

interpol chasing julian assange

makes me think of music
and music as protest

and at which point the ELF or ALF extremists
might wind up strangled in a cell
like baader meinhoff

and the filmmakers
schlondorff and fassbinder
might make
the third generation
or
the legend of rita
or the artists

might make a little ditty

or a painting
as
kippenberger's portrait of the prison
where baader meinhoff were strangled (suicided) all in one night

and so then wikileaks merits the biggest cyber defamation
such that one might
hope

don't believe everything you read
especially on fox news
or the new york times

as if you believed anything anyway in the modern age

"how much do these suppers cost
we'll take it out in hate"

its all like the teacher song, kill or be killed


leonard cohen
stranger song

the solemnity and lethargy of the leo's glare
and steadiness

so leonard chased the all meat diet
then the all vegetable
was it brutality or kindness to be revered?
or buddhism
non-attachment dead ending to a place of jainist cessation of all will to live
epiphantic
ecstatic
self-immolation

and maybe that is where wikileaks finds us
cynical in the face of so much information
about the collapse of monetary systems
human rights
dignity of any kind
a reinstatement of puritanical
judeo-christian norms
pedophilias

and darwinian lyingness

and simultaneous bestial murderous racist war
for oil and imperial glory
victoria regina imperiatrix
for god and empire and other such unicorns
world bank
IMF
