Three Poems by Jerome Rothenberg
THAT DADA STRAIN
the zig zag mothers of the gods
of science the lunatic fixed stars
& pharmacies
fathers who left the tents of anarchism
unguarded
the arctic bones
strung out on saint germain
like tom toms
living light bulbs
aphrodisia
“art is junk” the urinal
says “dig a hole
“& swim in it”
a message from the grim computer
“ye are hamburgers”
1985
​
​
From A SENECA JOURNAL: Prelude
a city on a turtle’s back
a long house
was like Jerusalem’s
temple
resting on a whale
impossible to bring it all
together
1982
A SHORT POEM FROM “A BOOK OF MIRRORS”
A world caught in a mirror
too vast to be contained.
Infinities of mirrors.
The ones who see it
falter, their hands
break the glass.
They are the sorry mystics,
misfits from
the middle states,
we spy them
on a distant planet,
hidden from time.
