Tim Kahl: Any Experiment
Let us be the coast increased with salt and concrete. Let us be
the currency scripted with purple dye. Let us be alpha and
let us be dead, dead with a thousand excavated bones.
Any experiment that crashes into India will need a road
more than a calendar. Buddha teaches only one god for
poverty, another functions as the fall into blind purpose,
into metallurgy. An intense coin is minted for
the average voter, finessed into doing much better, rated by
Standard & Poor’s. Let us refinance and disappear.
Let us clear debt and launch the future of
computerized trade. Let us be risk and aid package and
let us be dead, let us be dead,
dead with the interest due next week.
Any experiment will prove Aristotle wrong. The modern study
of motion travels along the original will of Galileo.
A steady velocity means our molecules absorb the force of
the boot. Electricity drives trains, cars, shreds documents,
pushes the hedge funds to compete. Energy transfers
to the logic of the central bank. Are we still engines of heat?
Show us the light from the Bunsen flame placed under
the thesis of finance. Let us not resist the attempt.
Let us be kinetic winter on the frightened cape.
Let us be the paper note that floats in the wind and
let us be dead, let us be dead, let us be dead.
Any experiment with life will be at our own expense.
