A mine in my mind
2014, 4.10 min, HD-Video
Unser Zeitalter wird geprägt von
Orientierungslosigkeit, Leere und
Langeweile.
Allan Gingsberg Howl II
What sphinx of cement and aluminum
bashed open their skulls
and ate up their brains and imagination?
Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness!
Ashcans and unobtainable
dollars! Children screaming under
the stairways! Boys sobbing
in armies! Old men weeping in
the parks!
Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of
Moloch! Moloch the loveless!
Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy
judger of men!
Moloch the incomprehensible
prison! Moloch the crossbone
soulless jailhouse and Congress
of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings
are judgment! Moloch the
vast stone of war! Moloch the
stunned governments!
Moloch whose mind is pure machinery!
Moloch whose blood is
running money! Moloch whose
fingers are ten armies! Moloch
whose breast is a cannibal dynamo!
Moloch whose ear is a smoking
tomb!
Moloch whose eyes are a thousand
blind windows! Moloch
whose skyscrapers stand in the
long streets like endless Jehovahs!
Moloch whose factories
dream and croak in the fog! Moloch
whose smoke-stacks and
antennae crown the cities!
Moloch whose love is endless oil
and stone! Moloch whose soul
is electricity and banks! Moloch
whose poverty is the specter of
genius! Moloch whose fate is a
cloud of sexless hydrogen! Moloch
whose name is the Mind!
Moloch in whom I sit lonely!
Moloch in whom I dream Angels!
Crazy in Moloch! Cocksucker
in Moloch! Lacklove and
manless in Moloch!
Moloch who entered my soul
early! Moloch in whom I am a
consciousness without a body!
Moloch who frightened me out
of my natural ecstasy! Moloch
whom I abandon! Wake up in
Moloch! Light streaming out of
the sky! Moloch! Moloch! Robot apartments!
invisible suburbs! skeleton treasuries!
blind capitals! demonic industries! spectral
nations! invincible madhouses! granite
cocks! monstrous bombs!
They broke their backs lifting Moloch to
Heaven! Pavements, trees, radios, tons!
lifting the city to Heaven which exists and
is everywhere about us!
Visions! omens! hallucinations! miracles!
ecstasies! gone down the American river!
Dreams! adorations! illuminations! religions!
the whole boatload of sensitive
bullshit!
Breakthroughs! over the river! flips and
crucifixions! gone down the flood! Highs!
Epiphanies! Despairs! Ten years’ animal
screams and suicides! Minds! New loves!
Mad generation! down on the rocks of
Time!
Real holy laughter in the river! They saw
it all! the wild eyes! the holy yells! They
bade farewell! They jumped off the roof!
to solitude! waving! carrying flowers!
Down to the river! into the street!
