Çatalhöyük Lyrics by J. Mamana

Nothing New in the West

2018

Cruel world
Breakfast by the Old Stone House
Family affair
The refrigerator’s hundred gauss
In Volta Bureau
Eyes to phone, Graphophonic cue
To decode
On Volta Park land
There headstones paved
A passage in place of the road
And a map hangs crooked in the corner near the bar
And a man stands staring at the Costanoan land
Where the great-grandchildren of bootleggers
Position pegs of donut shops by hand
Along the Beltway
Monuments indicate a memory
Traced
Like this Vinland map, say:
15th cent. but it’s covered in fresh
Anatase
Like Çatalhöyük
Mocked the spots of the leopard décor
Like Waldseemüller
Named a square by the 95-
Corridor
And a map hangs crooked in the corner near the bar
And a man stands staring at the Costanoan land
Where the great grandchildren of bootleggers
Position pegs of donut shops by hand
There a man falls thumbing at the coronated cabs
While a teenager’s sitting dour at the stand
All the while he’s thumbing at a screen
Calls a six door uninsured wheezing Kombi van
With a map framed crooked in his flushed and hardened hands—
His weird Old Dominion over East Algonquian land
Where the great-grandchildren of bootleggers
Position pegs in yule Afghanistan
A palimpsest:
In the grid
You discover yourself
Like a stencil
Retracing the work of
Someone else
