THIS AMERICAN CARNAGE, 2028


                     I

Now arrives the time of action, 
a frozen SonderKommando 
marches the windswept 
plains of Nebraska. Detroit 
sprawls glorious freedoms 
and our dreams define 
the disease of national pride. 
Meet me in loyalty, unstoppable
in every city far and wide, 
the breath of life almighty: we will not fail. 
Living is striving, we are the struggle/…

…we cut the beards / scream the Lithuanian anthem from atop a pile of cardboard cut-outs / applauding the effort / on a garage forecourt we take a crowbar to the skulls of the communist functionaries / such sport the tarmac supports / special work in rear areas / set the native population against the others / watch the well-dressed burn

(ASIDE(Please see me standing, 
my children singing 
to themselves. 
half-hymns, 
half-gibberish show tunes
come to breakfast, 
sit next to me, 
washed blond hair 
stiffly tufted in the
summer garden.)

/…This American carnage 
stops right here. We will 
harness the energies, a new 
national pride will stir 
our souls. The gangs 
and the drugs flushed 
with cash, one heart, one home. 
We must protect our pyramids
our God bless you industries/….

…these were internal disputes and spontaneous retributions / I heard the sound of machine guns all night / saw the huge iron bar /the killer standing in the horseshit / admired them quietly stepping forward / and their caved in skulls / poured into breathing pits / separating the living from the dead

(ASIDE(water for bones
whatever you might think
the children are suffering
in the heat
the boat sinks onwards 
into Venice’s central square
St. Marks, or 
Somewhere else
similarly religious)

“…/…Really we do it without like, 
the musical instruments. This is the 
only musical: the mouth. And hopefully 
the brain attached to the mouth. Right? 
The brain, more important than the mouth, 
is the brain. The brain is much more important…/…”

Rasainiai 16 Jews, 412 Jewesses, 415 Jewish children 843 Georgenburg (Yurburg) All Jews, all Jewesses, all Jewish children 412 / 2.10.41 Zagare633 Jews, 1,107 Jewesses, 496 Jewish children (as these Jews were being led away a mutiny rose, which was however immediately put down; 150 Jews were shot immediately; 7 partisans wounded) 2,236 / Today I can confirm that our objective, to solve the Jewish problem for Lithuania, has been achieved by EK 3 / In Lithuania there are no more Jews, apart from Jewish workers and their families / The distance between from the assembly point to the graves was on average 4 to 5 Km. / I consider the Jewish action more or less terminated as far as Einsatzkommando 3 is concerned / I am of the view that the sterilization programme of the male worker Jews should be started immediately so that reproduction is prevented / If despite sterilization a Jewess becomes pregnant she will be liquidated…
