House of Paine

old tr and every one's favorite mechanical fantasy

 
tell me 

 whats your favorite 
perpetual motion machine ?

old TR accused
 the populists 
of believing in
a pure fantasy:

 sustainable wealth equalization
 

===========================


 
to
 the snooty bullyboy of sagamore hill
  
believing in real social equality
   
 was like 

"  believing in perpetual motion "

  

well how about

believing in 

inevitable  brake downs ?


way way 
too many
 revenge gloomers

BELIEVE
IN ONE OR OTHER
 OF THESE
 FINAL RECKONING
 HORROR SCAPES

harmless enough in and of itself

i guess

it helps 'em
keep 
their  head
above water

shit who can blame em


floundering 
around 
like they all are
 in the wash
of 
 history's wake 
=========================
   TAKE 

  oil peak freaks

yes indeed their back again

 like 17 year  locust 

though their 
 cycle  is not only 
not prime in length
its
 also very irregular 

at any rate
 today is one of their  hammer times

their swarming 

------------------------------------

here's my beef

their wishing well
is no less childish 
then the bible bashers
and 
the tom technical to the rescue types

simply making it non hollywood

simply 
because its dark and aweful

don't make it adult entertainment 
------------------------------------------

as my dear dear
now  totally ex friend

duke mantee

once said
after he realized his year
 as a primary school teacher
in the bronx 
hadn't coincided
 with
 a  great black urban revolution

" shit the rest of our lives 
 will probably be 
even more of an anticlimax"


--------------------------------------------------

 don't think it ain't appealing

it has its center fold possibilities 

and its do-able in numbers 

just add up
total  reserves 
and divide by
 the rate of consumption

when ever the doomsday  is 

it still iz

finite means finite

right?

the big big brake down hitz eventually 



there 
comes a day 
the candy man no shows 

whoopeeeeee

----------------------------------------------

  suddenly it'll be
         cold turkey planet
                 around here

well I can't wait
i only hope we're choaking on deadly airs too

shit if this
Great Mother Sponge of ours
 can take a total burn off 
and not only not
heat up like latin dance club
but actually keep
her breath fresh 


well
what a fuckin drag 


but i can't wait for the show 
can you ?

any more then
 i could wait
 for thermo nuclear war
in october 1962


I'M STILL WAITIN'  
FOR THAT ONE 
BY THE WAY
