Global effect

The sun has got rusty
The tin-flaked light can wound deadly
The leafless trees have broken down
Their propeller engines.

Elongated people, full of holes
Penetrated by birds and pressing machines
Lie down on stretchers of the zebra crossing
To die.

Speakers sing
Astronauts screw stars
Computers count
The supreme failure.

And that is all,
Boredom stifles the vital enthusiasm
Distributed globally
And statistically.
