“A Trick to Dull Our Bleeding
practically speaking
the great words of great men
are not so great.nor do great nations nor great beauties
leave anything but the residue
of reputation to be slowly
gnawed away.nor do great wars seem so great,
nor great poems
nor first-hand legends.even the sad deaths
are not now so sad,
and failure was nothing but a
trick
to keep us going,and fame and love
a trick to dull our bleeding.and as fire becomes ash and steel
becomes rust, we become
wise
and then
not so wise.and we sit in chairs
reading old maps,
wars done, loves done, lives done,and a child plays before us like a monkey
and we tap our pipe and yawn,
close our eyes and sleep.pretty words
”
like pretty ladies,
wrinkle up and die.

From /Film. John Hillcoat, the filmmaker behind The Road and The Proposition, has directed a new commercial for Levi’s titled “Ready to Work”. The commercial is “a tribute to the new pioneers of Braddock, PA.” When the steel mills closed in Braddock, PA, they left behind a dwindling population living in near apocalyptic circumstances. Now, a new generation of urban pioneers has come with a mission- to create a new frontier from the ashes of the once vibrant town. Instead of using models or actors, the spots use the residents of the actual community. The New York Timessays the advertising campaign will play up the concept that the Braddock residents are “descendants of the pioneers who first wore Levi’s in the 1870s.” Watch the commercial directed by Hillcoat, embedded after the jump. Thanks /Film reader asharptack for the tip.
