Bust down the Doors!
Young-Hae Chang Heavy IndustriesSoundtrack: “Amuck” by Art Blakey, recorded in 1957They bust openThe door While you sleep,Rush intoYour home,Enter your bedroom,Drag youOut of bed,Push youIn your underwear Out into the street,While the neighbors, Now awakened,Peek from behind curtainsTo catch a glimpseOf your humili-ation,Some of them noddingIn agreementWith your captors,Others smiling,Still othersOpening their windowsTo cry out“Kill the traitor,”While you,In bare feet,Hands tiedBehind your back,Advance to the pokesOf their gun muzzlesIn your back and sidesAnd their spitThat dripsFrom your face,And all the while,How strange it isThat as you walk In the cool night,As you moveCloser and closer To the isolated spotWhere they will force youTo your kneesAnd put a bulletIn your head,How strangeAnd how important,How lifesavingThat you must,You utterly must recallThe dreamYou were dreamingWhen they pulled youOut of bed,The dream of the coolSummer sea breezeThat caressed youAnd your lover As you satOn the terraceOver-looking the seaAnd drank To the strainsOf an unbearably sweetBossa nova.
