“That’s some rack o’tits y’got there,Magdelana!” he asserted,flicking
aside his Belgium Cigarillo as Rudolpho emitted a homosexual laugh.”

CAN WE AFFORD A PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH SEXUAL AND
FOREIGN TRIPE ON YOUR TOWN COUNCIL?

Rocco’s Solution
-Grounds are there. Throw all Republicans into prison.
-You mean all Republican officials? Crooks...?
-Nah. All Republicans! They’re complicit in crimes,especially
blowing up babies in Iraq. Impossible to deny.
-Practical problems. Jails already overcrowded.
-Move out the present tenants. They become the Republicans.
Won’t miss a beat.

Laughing at Cole Porter
too clever by much more than half,arch.
Trying. Uncool. Roaring traffic’s boom ...
silence of my lonely room. Uh huh. Yeah.
How ‘bout “Kansas City Star,that‘s
what I are?” Country-funny,no tux.
In computer game hangover,so deep six
the Shakespeare too,or maybe just let’s say
Fuck it,man! Key in a few words. Rest is shit.

Among the last

let’s call him Governor
Sir Trevor Berkley-Trevorsham,
backed up the plane ramp,
pistol in hand. Old Bunky!
did he know his Kipling?
When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Brits never learn. Americans refuse.
It’s all of it an old old endless loop.

crowed. More like a torture

Cold War Academic Dialog
I never interfere with your hiring decisions,but this is
an odd one.
How so? Two PhDs? I guess he can handle Intro Lit.
Talks funny.
Czech. Took off when Communists seized power.
Anti-Red? Board’ll love that!
One degree in Comparative Literature. We don’t have
anybody similar.
What is that exactly?
In his case,he’s expert in Modern French and German writing.
And,putting the head on your Pearl Beer!—conversant in the poetry
of the Arabic Mediaeval poet,Zuhayr.
Hot shit! But this is Texas. Wanna give farm boys and girls airs?
Yes!

Dad Was Told By Mother
I’ve watched one Congressman.
Know his district well,suburbs
and rough urban slums. Men
and women gentle as old widows,
and cutthroats and graduate
jailbirds. He came in raw,
awkward. Acquired knowledge
and polish–that is
became a pretty good
leader and legislator,quite
a plus for constituents--
as he stuffed his pockets
in the various clever ways
of many of his fellows.
Can’t we have one
without the other?
Or do you learn
from each area
what is necessary
to improve in both?

The Virtual Candidate
Stayed with me last week. The real man remained in Washington,
but this robot answered questions quite effectively. On taxation
he was profound,really,as opposed to the inane candidate.
I was taken aback,though,by his question to me.
“Is there a room where I can go jerk off?”
“You mean virtually jerk off?”
“Whatever. A real room where I can virtually jerk off?”
“This...is difficult culturally. Very upsetting,” I shook my head.
“Hard for me. All of us. We’re pioneers here.”

The Possibility of Cash
Hey! Forbes’ Billionaire list,huh? I’m lucky you take my call.
Well,I don’t know where they get their figures.
I just don’t know. It’s a devilishly complex picture.
Never mind all that! Congratulations! You should sound happier!
Agree. Not exactly crying poormouth,but...
The president’s tax cuts,besides being a tonic for the entire nation...
Have aided me immeasurably? Well,somewhat.
You’re a conservative,all right. And a great one!
Here it comes!
If the opposition gets in...
Bye bye Christmas?
Seriously,we need you to double your contribution. At the least.
Ouch!
Little pain now,to avoid...
Okay. Okay. No more pitching! Please! I’m on the team.
But the social workers they made me add to the board
do continue to insist we’re totally fucking the little guy.
Policy. When he gets sick of the continuous reaming,
he’ll get off his raw ass and get to work!
I agree,but they warn of political costs.
That’s our bag. We take care of that. Can I have that check sooner than later?
Done! You have no conscience. I have one and sit here wondering sometimes.
Uh huh. Well we can’t afford that luxury. By the way,regulations are brutal.
Anyway that cash is possible?

That’s our bag. We take care of that. Can I have that check sooner than later?
Done! You have no conscience. I have one and sit here wondering sometimes.
Uh huh. Well we can’t afford that luxury. By the way,regulations are brutal.
Anyway that cash is possible?
Cash is always possible.

Peacetime Army,Korea
A piece of lint drifts
onto the mirror
polish of
your boot
and it’s worse
than Iwo Jima or Verdun!
At any rate,no longer fear-
ful of death,we take up chess,
playing through the night by
hissing Coleman lantern. Some
send for literature,and in our
Sergeants’ Club (corner of
a filthy tent) beery arguments
arise over triple greats
like Paul Morphy. So,no,
ephebe,we aren’t the rubes
of your college desire.
