Edit, part 2:
Essentially the same with L'Etoile, only less radical, since I think the original version had something going for it, however little -- but ultimately, it does feel to me like it dies down, like it gets more and more inauthentic as it goes, more and more caught up in trying to present something weird.
BLOODY NEIGHBORS
I'd wish it off,
their light, their noise,
every damn night
either partying or arguing --
more distracting than the moon,
than the howling of the bitches
and the crawling of the crab
out my sex --
if I knew its futility
wouldn't just distract me,
just lead me down worse circles round
this loomy gloom --
