His classic song

Disgusted by Jacques Brel

singing about Madeleine

pathetic awful parody of a song

like a worm twisting its way

inside

like the light the horrible

pale cold light of this long afternoon

in the video

his teeth seem to move on their own

those enormous teeth

of Jacques Brel(1929-1978)

whole face ready to come apart

in black and white

and the sickening unseen audience

applauding applauding

there's Boris Karloff in Frankenstein(1931)

in this hunched man

missing one huge teeth on one side

Simian

smile

sweat

whole face

in sweat

Madeleine

something in my throat

like a big white worm

making its way up

as I listen

on this shivering June day

to the 1962 past

as horrific as this

and in the end
the awful circus melody

for the tormented ape-man

in him

and me
