Après tant d’années, Jacques Brel se demandait le pourquoi de l’assassinat de Jean Jaurès

On se le demande toujours.

Taxi, Singapore, Ohio
By Lo Kwa Mei-en

Wife-beatered, bedroom burst with birds
and sons, my grandfather turns left on red

forever. We leave mainland for traffic or fish,
an island for snow, the hereditary list

to Away for his ghost taxi I never heard:
a quartet of poached songbird in the trunk.

In my mirror, I see the men I got drunk
off just breathing them, and tonight I wish

I took the well-trafficked kiss to market,
watched it sun and sell and darken

beside a silver moon of pomfret thanked
for flesh, for time. The fishmonger of me

walks home with a little fish a little empty,
but the next life will be landlocked, so we get

into a taxi and take somebody home
before that life surfaces: some snow, all stone

animals you cannot shoot, agree
-able species floated at the corners of yards.

We’ll ghost into a life like minor chords,
make rearview eyes at what could have flown—

as a taxi turns left on red, four songs shut
in the trunk, testing the border like a cut

so open we’ll know it forever, the words
that could have taken us home nowhere,

then brilliant, gone, fish sailing through air.

Robin: “Boy! That was our closest call ever! I have to admit that I was pretty scared!”

Batman: “I wasn’t scared in the least.”

Robin: “Not at all?”

Batman: “Haven’t you noticed how we always escape the vicious ensnarements of our enemies?”

Robin: “Yeah, because we’re smarter than they are!”

Batman: “I like to think it’s because our hearts are pure.”

« Les hommes attendent parfois de la vie quelque chose qu’elle ne leur donnera pas, et cette attente idiote, c’est leur but, leur passion. Pourquoi les hommes rendent-ils creux ce qui est plein ? »

“You don’t have any other society where the educated classes are so effectively indoctrinated and controlled by a subtle propaganda system – a private system including media, intellectual opinion forming magazines and the participation of the most highly educated sections of the population. Such people ought to be referred to as “Commissars” – for that is what their essential function is – to set up and maintain a system of doctrines and beliefs which will undermine independent thought and prevent a proper understanding and analysis of national and global institutions, issues, and policies”

— Noam Chomsky

Cold was the night and hard was the ground
They found her in a small grove of trees
And lonesome was the place where Georgia was found
She’s too young to be out on the street

Why wasn’t God watching?
Why wasn’t God listening?
Why wasn’t God there
for Georgia Lee?

Ida said she couldn’t keep Georgia from dropping out of school
I was doing the best that I could
Oh, but she just kept running away from this world
These children are so hard to raise good

Why wasn’t God watching?
Why wasn’t God listening?
Why wasn’t God there
for Georgia Lee?

Close your eyes and count to ten
I will go and hide but then
Be sure to find me, I want you to find me
And we’ll play all over
We’ll play all over
We’ll play all over
again

There’s a toad in the witch grass, there’s a crow in the corn
Wild flowers on a cross by the road
And somewhere a baby is crying for her mom
As the hills turn from green back to gold

Why wasn’t God watching?
Why wasn’t God listening?
Why wasn’t God there
for Georgia Lee?

Why wasn’t God watching?
Why wasn’t God listening?
Why wasn’t God there
for Georgia Lee?

“Philadelphia, more than any filmmaker, influenced me. It’s the sickest, most corrupt, decaying, fear-ridden city imaginable. I was very poor and living in bad areas. I felt like I was constantly in danger. But it was so fantastic at the same time.”
