ZERO

And the sum total of all of this and all of that from the hinged eyelids of junkies on the mainline out of Manhattan to the earth-like birth of a prairie child in a lost landscape beneath a destiny sky -- from the coke can crushed beneath a speeding wheel on some pockmarked potholed civil war street in a burnt out city where people meet to exchange paradise in a plastic bag -- to the dogs of day on a burning Denver desolate corner waiting for a calloused hand to touch their doldrum brows --

And the sum total of all of this and all of that from the high song sung in some holy hole to the blood beat rush of a party drum -- the taste of dust on broken lips -- the accordion wheezing with collapsed lungs in the death ward of a demolished hospital -- needles glinting in the surgical sun -- from the dollar dropped down the drain never to be seen again to the stash of cash built on hash -- the cracked fortunes of today`s reigning kings -- from the hurt and the pain to the stash and the drain --

And the sum total of all of this and all of that from the scorched burger the stench of incineration the cow`s cremation, the taste of death in a sesame bun all the fun of the fair, slaughterhouse 5 on the suburban drive into our obese future -- the Elvis impersonator`s operatic stance, bejewelled in plastic and glass, bursting at the seams, feeding the face of the housewife`s dream --

And the sum total of all of this and all of that from the glint of arson to our drowning world -- flower and flame, beauty and stain -- from the Yellow cab to the needle`s jab, from the begging palms to the law`s long arm -- from the falling fainting heart-breaking dive to all of us still left alive --

And the sum total of all of this and all of that is one big zero.

And then -- and then we start over again --
