For the basic
For the base not the super-structure
There is this structure
There is a motive to song
Dissonant and aswarm
Like killer bees or simply
Bees riled collectively
These refrains increase
We are their surcease
The reason for this ante-
anthem other pronouns
Don’t like othering
Real basic like a feeling
Or a feeling of a feeling
Reups
Without a season or
Stars to guide you
There is this structure
Not anarchy
This end of theme
Of fugue
Against Cage’s silence
Meaning being in
The closet
Beyond Reich’s bruised blood
His drumming
There is a motive
Actual refusal and not a semblance
In dissonance
He makes a plan
Picks the right instrument
To kill whitey
Tear it up
Controlled bellowing
Let the rest balloon
Until all masters are dead
Or this isn’t antagonism
After 400 years
But stasis sustained by noise
By swarms erring
Until the End of the world
Composition carries this
Information
Of the post-expectant
Of redress or what counts
As redress counting-off
Gives Bach a reason
To do evil
To do evil against evil
Be crazier than the craziest
Grammar of suffering
Because you had to act sane
In this sea of whiteness
Martyring a piano
Lynching
An instrumentation
To alchemize voice
Mackey’s wear and tear
Of too much heaven
Coming up for air
In hell’s sub-basement
Its sub-sub-basement
Smoking with all the lights on.
