A Bridge Falls Down
by NY Arts
Valery Oisteanu
Stop the traffic
Rocks fall off the Sag Harbor Bridge
January 13, the Anniversary of Ray Johnson’s suicide
The ghost is unhappy, unwanted
The pillars crumble
Nothing for nothing is always something
This is terminus bridge over freezing waters
Master of disaster is swimming away
Away from art world
Away from the bridge toward the promised land
Rub your forehead against the stones
and throw a bottle full of messages
a knife swaddled in paper blood
a razor with cuttage zero
regression to malleability of dead men’s flesh
This is the art for the dead
Now he is going through the Purgatory
Man Ray of Detroit
The x-Ray vision magic Johnson
Abolish all mail art, correspondence art
and networking e-mail art
The master is swimming away
From Valery Oisteanu’s unpublished book
Perks in Purgatory
