Pluton Zone dedicated to Irish Poetry by Ed Rosenthal Im sad to announce the death Of a close dear Lady Friend Perhaps you know her name Whose beauty in beaux arches Strutted her limbs bristling Bodies in intercourse coming Accross her shopping palaces Her name ìSeventh Streetî Some time ago in a mist Was hard to remember The people walking in shops At past speeds does memory Glow accross stone shining Limbs in a chorus of cotton Tweeds grey green passages Best remember or forget er? Semmed agin we culd raise er Like Demeters magic bargain Now pulses of energy building Turn East from giants of Arena ears hear housing hammering Soon darlings dance her surface Parents in industy seedlings Sweetheart artery of history Just as blood pumped her bosom Spider of cable webs pulled her down telecoms darkness. People less burrows of techno feats. But I canít entreat Ancient Demeter ìPlease rescue this handsome place From plutubes switch click blips Poor women sleep her cold face !î Which only shows the age of Grecian gods trashed. Bonnieísay ìturn from Myth to grit your teeth in Civics. Get life for cash taxes. Let Bodies cruise red neon energy treasure Telehomes night!î Oy but at a dolla twen tyfive? and low expense! Council Donít question any broker: ìIs Telecom right?î
