(Through DDS’s Symphony No 15)
Prance in darkness, harness moon stream Rolled, ragged flaws, fuming mid beam Evolving, orchestral, Rossini interrupting Russian claws, streaking, fear covered Bristling, censored, sagacious steamed windows. Amidst official optimism State delusion of the proletariat Believing, shoeless, shivering madness Talent, escaping as exhaust fumes Doctrine chanting fur hats and Furrier brows on the vulgar river Floating fans in Vodka barges. Illuminated by floodlights Dogs with sentinels Joy of men perspiring Crima facie movements Framed in brass melody Heaving cello warnings Menace to reveal The secret of the farce But not its remedy.
