To My Enemies by Bert Meyers

I'm still here, in a skin

thinner than a dybbuk's raincoat;

strange as the birds who scrounge,

those stubborn pumps

that bring up nothing...


Maddened by you

for whom the cash register,

with its clerical bells,

is a national church;

you, whose instant smile

cracks the earth at my feet...


May your wife go to paradise

with the garbage man,

your prick hang like a shoelace,

your balls become raisins,

hair grow on the whites of your eyes

and your eyelashes turn

into lawn mowers

that cut from nine to five...


Man is a skin disease

that covers the earth.

The stars are antibodies

approaching, your president

is a tsetse-fly...



(Bert Meyers)
