Let poets be poets artists artists
academics academics
what you say you want to be
the person you want
to be there is a shortage
of coal in Vertov's world
but five year plans must go on
there are shotages and
then there are shortages the
empty boxes strewn around
that yard would appear to any
one else potentialities but
the things we write to each other
are beyond wishing
or hope Pushkin writes no
thing has led to so much hopelessness
as the fact there once was hope
in Vertov's *Enthusiasm*
they are taking the steeples down
cleaning out the churches
smoke stacks in the background once
signs of progress seem
sinister I like the way
the soundtrack changes
from shot to shot like
we could finally see with our ears
your problem you say
is with "the image"
and I have given up
on being anything.
