End of Law, the [coll] – [Sub Rosa]

An army of artists(Iggy, Burroughs, Patti
Smith, Bill Laswell, Gen P. Orridge…)
wander out into the desert, past the rock,
into the poetry in search of the source
of a sinister trinity of drugs, violence
and sex. (No, our age holds no patent on
these) Emerging from shifting sound dunes
is not a man, but a myth…whose shadow
and spectre are larger than truth and lies
combined. Anecdotes and ancient texts hewn
out of high-tech, hi-fi, hieroglyphics.
