Federico Federici - Two Stuffed texts - an experiment with TS Eliot's "Hollow men"



***
Stuffed text number 1

We are the hallowed men
we are the duff-head men
keen to gather
head peace filed in row. Alas!
Hours drive choices, where
the will-o'-the-wisps are
quaint mien and our lenses
shield us, behind chipped
glasses, while gloves don't fit
in with other laces,
sheep without norm, shirts without collar,
in a para-lizard farce, just an urgent notion;
on the snow that crusts
we draw reptiles, too deaf fathers keen on
remembrance – in fact, all note us lost,
violence howls against
us, hallowed men
duff-head men.
