B. S. Johnson



Write a book of debt everyone must pay
exact revenge in a grotesque way

build a taj mahal on vacation time
the kid will frag the sap before the ink is dry

its as good as any joke I know

Write a book of leaves shuffled by the wind
two unbound lives orderless and grim

setup to ensure failing miserably
to sublimate a world into poetry

but make sure your last intentions known (...)


[Pernice Brothers, «B.S. Johnson», álbum Live a Little, 2006]
