Sorry if this has been asked before but I ran a search for it and seemingly it was not.
I would like to know when did this poem came into existence? I guess it either could be an uncollected work that first published in 2004 but yet could have been written in, say 1976 as well as a left over from Love Is a Dog from Hell...
"the problem, of course, isn't the Democratic System,
it's the
living parts which make up the Democratic System.
the next person, you pass on the street,
multiply
him or
her by
3 or 4 or 30 or 40 million
and you will know
immediately
why things remain non-functional
for most of
us."
(The Pleasures of the Damned, 216: 1-13)
