American Life

follow the grain of natural being, the white existential
model looks exhaustive into the demonic art and unhappy
prophetic social vision powers unconscious American streets

hysterically excessive and frantically active in a constant
cumulative threat dependent on parallelism and repetition of sound
soaring and plunging from one line to the next, insisting

for spirit in the face of a materialistic culture, burning the present
awareness of regenerative possibilities novel about turbulence
jumping off ecstatic copulations by the propelling torrential quality

forbidden, impulses and primitive energies form a repressive
sheer nightmarish momentum of purgatorial subway rides
always aware of growing older and saddened by this spontaneity

unshaped lives free of preimposed horrors of ideological stasis
misread as a remarkable fusion makes a mockery of security
through the figure of the imperfect man, an exuberant anarchism

the refrain is a reminder of the effects of disorder uncontained
a function of speed saliently tapped the distinguishing strain
reflected in an extraordinary hyperactivity that determines values

conflict between demands of Self and union with nature begins
to seek escape from the spiritually corrupting materialism rooted
isolating a more profound sense than hitchhiking ever provided

shamanistic implications howl like too much money collapsing
the overflowing ebullient doom in Western culture dominating
the virtue of poverty and fiction encourage shared attitudes

essentially distrustful of industry and its mechanical aristocracy
optimistically proclaiming with egalitarian gusto the newness
an era of ominous malaise vigorously sustained by war
