"The white population is elderly and
in serious decline."
-- Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez
jaw-dropping judgment
(raped by strangers)
the cross-eyed pirates' prison system
advocating black-white control
("civilized" old tricks from the grey book)
forty Dominican establishments broke up
(after the Great Frog Flood)
twelve stones & twelve monkeys
(symbolic, reclusive and jungle-weary beat)
bronze race screaming clouds disperse
(and finally licking up the spittle of blood)
Moctezuma's people responsible
(drunk, sacrificed or bleeding?)
deflecting attention from Cortes' helmet
(eventually spiked in the lowlands of Spain)
excluded stayed the natives disguised
(chocolate beans & bellies ripped)
in time rising the red fire pasture plotted
(and deserved pale death sown)
Mexica cheering gringo squalor
(no sorrow, no pity - future steeled benign)
on ancient steps old gods coming back
(while whiling away withered wrists of fury)
crimson sun never rising twice
(a feathering feast in a desert sky)
THE GREY ZONE painted gold once more
- Constantin von Hoffmeister
