the same joke among the old Poles
about the IV republic of Poland
(the fourth republic, if Poland) -
should, slowly, become,
realised as:
the sort of joke among the old Germans...
about the E.U. / the fourth reich...
the current fiasco concerning
the media frenzy surrouding
the English? that's just the prelude
to what's going to happen;
what is but pale and nothing
but a shade... as much as is required
from a people most accustomed
to blowing up... the volume
of hot-air balloon equivalence -
to... a toad burping with helium accents.
