Christopher Hansard:[Tomato Ketchup]
The snow here is five feet thick
the wind here blows ice in the air
the air is blue
the fire burns
moose call high up in the hills..
that is the dream trying to escape
from the neon flashes of the fast food outlets
at christmas time, you can even hear
a man whistling and playing a harmonica
if you listen
the demiurges of the world
turn on their sides as they sleep
humanity a dream of what was
for some tonight cheap tomato ketchup
is only thing similar to the blood of the saviour
that they will ever know
as popes play politics
a second hand middle eastern cult
tries vainly to grip the earth
