Plekhanov
Lyrics
Who's learned the language Of the Internationale?
The granma had a personnel Crazy enough to eschew Historic investments — Of which there were few Locally
Who's learned the language Of the Internationale?
Nobody's crazy enough Locally — Nor can they be In a way that Obviates pathology The crazy are consigned, then To third-world iconography
Who? What? When? How? What for? Act, agency, scene And actor Is hating something communally (It’s clear To volunteers.)
Our 'conversation' Has volunteered For seventeen years Plekhanov A priori
Neither anticipation Nor fulfilment Is realistic In dialectic
Who was ever disowned By his Granma?

Retrospectives
Art & Language, 1981[1]
We’ve learned the words of The Internationale – they are inflated and overwrought. The discourse of the cultured (and that includes the musical) left has volunteered. For what? A loquaciously theorised exile from the substantive tasks of the class struggle.
