Report: Gen X Irony, Cynicism
May Be Permanently Obsolete

AUSTIN, TX— According to Generation X sources, the recent attack on America may have rendered cynicism and irony permanently obsolete. "Remember the day after the attack, when all the senators were singing 'God Bless America,' arm-in-arm?" asked Dave Holt, 29. "Normally, I'd make some sarcastic wisecrack about something like that. But this time, I was deeply moved." Added Holt: "This earnestness can't last forever. Can it?"

would never give me any peace

staggering
do you shop at macy's gray

i know its purple again
but then purple it must be

wideyed widowed

if i move slow i lose focus

at the crosswalk

flinched
slowdown
hit the skids
too late

i think its leaking brake fluid

an extenuated circumstance



the cloistered
the cloak that wears you
reduced to must
its over whats due
your risque brass
blotted out the seen
half hearted flags
drip drop droop

windowdressing



cut the genes in my dreams
the splice of life

drew queens in spades
jack-the-knife

with the means to remain
gone to blazes

"excelsior!" he cried.

the fire is out

an overture rests

the law of diminishing returns




i thought we had a deal
without a party to the second part appeal
but now that courting is done
and theres one that has one
its apart thats a whole left to feel

jiffy lewd aptitude

disconsolation prize




strike through the common weal
the welter of waits
welded together

palmed strands grate
a heretical e-notion
windows are weathered

benjamin bussed
lost in the rust
er nurses the burns

rollers...coasters
the trojans are hoarse
the geldings meeting adjourned

insoluble



shaken to the corpus
warring fractions

mistaken and unwakened
coiled inaction

brokered no pieces
misaligned in the breaches

its never alright
twice its happened

northern skies

"Aye we have found him, the fair young face
Turned to the pitiless Afghan skies
The frost bound earth for a resting place
Dead--with the horror of death in his eyes."

OZYMANDIAS


I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said, Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert...Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lips and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandius, king of kings.
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair."
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
