Four Colors

Roy-Lichtenstein-3-1024x768

When Julius Schwarz said
to bring The Flash back from the dead
Carmine Infantino drew a spread.

The Atom, Green Lantern,
& The Martian Manhunter,
fighting Starro the Conqueror

It was Nineteen-Sixty,
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
created Marvels for us all to see.

When a young Peter Parker
got bit by a radioactive spider
it was the times of comic book silver

Into the Four Color Era
our realm of fantasy
cruel tyrants from Red Russia
threatening humanity

Omega Man and his
masked adventurers
Jupiter Jim
and Danny Danger.

Saturday Night in Babylon

SAM sings

WHAT IS IT,
THIS SIGHT I’M SEEING ?
LAND OF SOUND AND SIGHT
‘THOUGHT I WAS CRAVING

CONCRETE WALLS, SURROUNDING ME
ALIENATING
WHAT OCCULT MESSAGE IS THIS
VENUE PULSATING ?

IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT IN BABYLON
STATIC TIME GOES ON AND ON
IN THE DENSE HERD EVERYONE IS ALONE
DREAMS COME TO DIE HERE, IT’S AN HECATOMB

ALL THESE RICHES THAT I AM SEEING
FANCY CARS AND DIAMOND RINGS
WHY DOES THIS MAN HAVE TO BE BEGGING ?
WHY DOES HE HAVE TO WAKE UP IN THE STREET EVERY MORNING ?

WHAT WILL BE MY DESTINY
IN THIS FABLED LAND OF MILK AND HONEY ?
WILL I RISE OR WILL I SWAY ?
WILL I SHINE OR WILL I FADE AWAY ?

WHAT COULD BE / DO YOUR POSSIBLE

WHAT COULD BE

(EVE)

CAN YOU IMAGINE
A PLACE AND TIME
WHERE ALL IS SAFE AND SOUND
AND EVERYTHING IS FINE

A PLACE WHERE THE MUNDANE
JOINS IN WITH THE DIVINE
A PLACE WHERE YOU GET YOURS
AND I GET MINE

DO YOUR POSSIBLE


(EVE)

LIKE THE TURTLE
LITTLE BY LITTLE
THE WEAK AND BRITTLE
ADVANCE, UNSTOPPABLE

IT’S NOT THEORETICAL
IT’S IRREFUTABLE
THE FLAWS YOU THINK IRREVERSIBLE
ALL ARE IMPROVABLE

(SAM & EVE)

DO YOUR POSSIBLE
FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE
TURN THE CASUAL
INTO THE OPTIMAL

SUPER-PEOPLE
NOT ONLY POSSIBLE
INDISPENSABLE
THEY’RE INEVITABLE


(EVE)

NO IT IS NOT
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
RISE UP THROUGH
THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE

ERECT YOUR OWN PEDESTAL
BY STEPS, INCREMENTAL
SAM THE GENTLE
PUT ON THE MANTLE AND

(SAM & EVE)

DO YOUR POSSIBLE
FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE
TURN THE CASUAL
INTO THE OPTIMAL

SUPER-PEOPLE
NOT ONLY POSSIBLE
INDISPENSABLE
THEY’RE INEVITABLE

(ZORUSSON SPONTANEOUSLY)

PUT ON YOUR TIGHTS AND MASK
AND RISE UP TO THE TASK

Eve giggles she goes to another room. Zorusson walks out, uneasy.

WHAT COULD BE (REPRISE)

(SAM)

IF EVERYTHING IS FINE
IN THIS DISTANT PLACE IN TIME
SURELY THEN
YOU WILL BE MINE

2018

I’ vaut mieux tard que jamais, i’ parait, ca fait qu’j’apparais

«drette tu-suite», deux mille dix-huit.

C’est la suite des épitres,  écoute-moi, tout’ fit’

C’est tragique mais logique: le mythe de la date limite

 

C’est que le message biblique, Apocalyptique,

serait comme une mécanique tragique vers l’heure fatidique

Ça serait tu possible qu’il n’y aie pas de solutions?

Qu’on avance aveuglément vers l’Armageddon?

 

Je voudrais vous rassurer, mais j’ai cru constater

une ancienne conspiration pour nous y programmer

Des égrégores millénaires, fomenteurs de toute les guerres

on profité de la misère et du climat de mystère

 

pour se multiplier, pour mieux nous diviser

les religions organisées se sont vite additionnées

… et hop! la chicane pour les fils d’Abraham:

Sion, la Chrétienté et l’Islam… Bam

 

Depuis l’aube de L’humanité rien n’a changé.

David et les Philistins, Ben Gourion et les Palestiniens.

Les idéologies politiques et mystiques

C’est tragique mais logique, nourrissent ce bucher historique.

 

Non. C’est pas d’hier que la chaudière est chaude hier,

le frère de ma mère est parti faire la guerre

mis six pieds sous terre, pour faire taire sa colère

sa mémoire est l’éclair austère qui ferre mon air révolutionnaire

 

Smack, crack, Jack. Rat Tat Tat Tat

Ils attaquent, psychopathes et nous mettent a quatre pattes

et ils frappent, refrappent, re-refrappent et tu dérape, tu t’adapte

«Pack a gatt», comme Arafat en Soixante-quatre

 

Et tu «fight», tu «bite», «all right» mais c’est bête

moi je voulais juste faire la fête, honnête, et bien paraitre;

non pas qu’on m’arrête pour comparaitre devant nos maitres,

les traitres! Les envoyer paitre. Être ton propre maitre, «right»?

…no longer plain ol’ Marco
Now an Omega Superhero
Faces comes and faces go
Zoa Zorusson: The new Zoso

Prophet of the noosphere
The Omega point is growing near
My heart broken and rebuilt. Oh dear!
From here I see the end of fear.
