PRAHA AGAIN, AGAIN PRAGUE
Milk and honey
under the skin
of these girls
directly out of
the textbook of legends.
But the air is rotten.
And the politics
which really shrink people
is rotten.
And they are.
But the slap in the face
is new,
in this city
sinking in its fat
like a melting ice cream
cone.
And coffee in the most
beautiful
art-nouveau room of the
world
is rotten too.
People here obviously
want to move to another
planet,
but history caught up with
them again,
and they have to take the
subway
to the inventor
of their tragedy
days a week.
