Auschwitz & The Summer of Love
I was the last austrian to write that novel
when I added gender I won the Nobel
suffering and injustice
the alleviation of
is literature’s only value
unless one values
the pure escape to a place
so impervious to cruelty
only a very tall hierarchy
can breach it but it never will
because we have buckets of oil
burning and ready to pour
on the first head we see over the wall
I do value that sort of thing
I made a kit of it I’m selling it
it’s a pop-up castle in a book
“we are constantly under attack”
andy warhol c. 1974
