THE PINES |
Marlon Brando
Movies
is a compartmentalized business,
anyway. Like
shooting fish. Practically
zero. A patina
of loyalty to investors, but that
doesn't mean a thing. They've got
their own intelligence system – political
forces,
everything. And
what did the computers give us?
I'd like to be a blade of grass
in concert with other blades of grass.
Ants do well; sharks, cockroaches – they survive. I am
all for survival. I do not need to
repeat.
Marlon Brando
The prostitute
relates to the prisoner. The prisoner
stands outside
himself on the rhapsodic stones.
The prostitute is 30,000 feet overhead
in a carbon charm. Asleep,
and magnificent
in her murdering robes.
The prisoner gives what he can
to the obelisk. His face
is etched on the base. Her pointed
nose
in the direction of the mountain,
blows.
Marlon Brando
A sea of canary-colored prairie rockets,
and when a wind comes up,
a dust of golden waves
through wide, reefed skirts.
In that budding, rabbits chase through pussy feet,
two feet high
and drunk. Breeched
yellows, vibrating.
Leap into the air
against the grass, and stay there – dawning
overarch. The rabbits stay
behind the trees at the edge of the yard,
nibbling on their tongues.
In the sky,
you will be bred to be
the world’s most able Lord.
Marlon Brando
I made the spaghetti dish and ate it myself Do you mind if I make
myself comfortable? I never was a
very good English student I’m
afraid I will strike you I am not going I get the idea I saw how
she was I do not care if she hears
me I had a piece of property
I will wait till she gets through soaking in a hot tub I will inquire I
am swindled too I believe I got an acquaintance who deals in this
sort of merchandise I will have
him I am willing I have an
acquaintance that works in a jewelry store
I will have him I am
going to stay What could that be, I
wonder I cannot do nothing I
do not go in for that stuff I never
met a woman that did not know if she
was good-looking or not without being told
I once went out with a doll
I said, So what? I did not know that
you was my sister’s doll I
broke her on the chair I do not want
no ifs I have an acquaintance
I am losing I said to hush up I want my baby I will keep on
ringing I want my baby down I want my girl to come I figure he
must have got you I will wait for
you I suppose I have got the
dope So I have been told I found out some things I already
suspected I got proof I can see how you would be upset by
this
I told you I thoroughly checked on
these stories I am willing to
bet
I hate to tell you I would like to
have I would like to have seen her
trying to squirm It is not my soul,
its my kidneys I am worried about
I wouldn’t be expecting You could
think I could face him You’re
goddamn right I told him I’d have
that on my conscience I do not
think Can I please get in my
bathroom I did not think you liked
my
stories I do not know any refined
enough for your taste I will clear
the table I am the king I am not a Polack. People from Poland are
Poles, not Polacks I am one hundred
percent American I am not
sure I do not want to bowl I had a little trouble I’m the team-
captain, ain’t I
I’ve got a little birthday remembrance for you I hope
you like it Don’t forget all that I
took off I done nothing to no
one
You thought I was common I was common
as dirt I pulled you
down I guess not I am going to undress right now I used to
have a cousin who could open a beer bottle with his teeth I always
break out on special occasions like this
The silk pajamas I wore I
will tear this off I know where he
is I have been on to you from the
start Do you hear me? You think I will interfere with you? I will
If will if you are lucky, love
