Businessmen |
JACK: |
Businessmen deeply awake |
Sleeping like spinning tops |
Corner the smalltown mastoid market |
Their uvulas hopping mad |
Beneath boney earache profits |
Punished by being kept alive |
Sure of the past at last |
Always a little sorry |
About reality |
JACK I (an issue forever): |
Worshipping whatever they find |
At their feet |
Jack ii: |
Suspicion bursting innocently |
I & II: |
Upon the guilty |
'Jack's traveling band' |
Are they looking for something |
They can’t find |
Or are they looking for something |
They haven’t got? |
'Phantom music' |
Impatience’s high patience |
Politics nothing to look at |
When someone is talking to you |
Jack i: |
Drifting into hypnosis — |
Jack ii: |
Outstaring the therapist to outstare — |
— Eyelids cataleptic — |
II: |
— The therapist or so it would seem — |
— Widely open and fixed — |
II: |
— Bodies so tired they can’t come clean — |
— Raging pale with endurance — |
II: |
— All insurance a murder plot — |
— All the way to the hill |
II: |
— A goat not something easily got |
I & II: |
The sun deeper and deeper in debt |
Exposing their rancidly calm minds |
To moonlight |
