Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
Gerard Van der Leun
Stone-cutters fighting time with marble, you foredefeated
Challengers of oblivion
Eat cynical earnings, knowing rock splits, records fall down,
The square-limbed Roman letters
Scale in the thaws, wear in the rain. The poet as well
Builds his monument mockingly;
For man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
Die blind and blacken to the heart:
Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained
thoughts found
The honey of peace in old poems.
— Robinson Jeffers
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.

Apropos of earworms– how could you forget “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke”? That needs a woke version too.

I’d like to give the world a hug,
and tell it jokes and stuff.
then pull its pants down to its knees
and chase it through the rough.
I’d tie it up with ropes and chains
and check its purse for change.
then leave it out at Moose Grin Hall,
with my cousin who’s deranged.
That is some mighty fine lyricage, gwbnyc.
-proudly purloined from a vintage “Nat’l Lampoon”.
some things ya never forget.
It’s called “satire,” “parody”. And thus, it is protected by the First Amendment. The SCOTUS ruled on something like this years ago, unanimously, I believe.
That won’t stop Disney’s lawyers from posting the notices to YouTube and everywhere else it is up. Notices are cheap and fighting Mickey’s legal department is very expensive.
Let ‘em!
I want the Walt Disney Company to spend as much cash as possible as they look like total fools before the courts. They have made no small contribution to the destruction of American culture.
I imagine that when this song came out in September of 2009, all the demented Bush-haters thought this was their anthem. Now that the Dementors all hold power, it is an anthem for the rest of us. A much better ear worm, too, jwm.
