PROCLAMATION
It has been done, Messieurs!
It has been done, Messieurs!
Already the wax mannequins are invading the libraries
The women walk like watery flags
The madmen distribute the images of their spirit
To the disaffected doors of the churches
Laugh
I forbid you to laugh or to grit hour teeth
I forbid you to sell your songs of love
Scatter our tinsel
Eat the flowers and the splinters
Mingle the aliments of these animals
And give them the whole and remnant of the heart
.......Do not conduct our children to school
.......Learn their secret usage of the word
We have already reversed the multiplication asbles
We no longer reenter the house of crime
We are unwearied een in sleep
Hold on to it to say
.......Today is
.......Round about the world
.......For the
.......REVOLUTION
.......of the
.......WORLD.
-E.L.T.Messens

Please forgive, and try to ignore, the "....." because I can't figure out how to make tabs stay put. -LL
