On the Ground in Iraq
Death is a blundering,
blind camel who kills
anyone he meets.
Those who evade him live
to old age.

Revelation
Evangelicals form the putre-
fying core of this government.
Those who know Truth,in
its dandy divine variety,
but can’t find their ass
with both hands.

Mickey and Carl
Mickey led. And now the thing was to have singalongs of old corny songs
with slides.
Thus The Curse of an Aching Heart, and all the guys had bellowed
“You dragged me down
and dragged me down
till the soul within me died!”
A slide of dudes at a Victorian bar,all moustache and attitude.
Walking back to the apartment,Mickey sped ahead. Carl held the gun they had
bought after a murder in their block.
Mickey and Carl - Mickey = Many Police.
Carl didn’t know how it went off. Mickey had been explicit about how to keep
the safety on.
“Horrible accident,” pronounced Captain Aldo "Bucky" Adinolfi.

Forty Acres and a Mule
“Them? We’re lucky they didn’t put it back in!” From Lucas1,
commenting on the failure of Republicans to institute a slavery
reparations plan. “It ain’t worth crap but it’s worth something,”
he says of the one recently signed by the Democratic President.
The land is torrid Arizona scrub,but many have staked claims,
four-wheeling in with water and tents.
The mule? Well,that’s virtual. As has Lucas1,anyone who can prove
slave ancestry can log onto mymule.gov and record a name.
Popular ones thus far are Bush,Cheney,and Rumsfeld,as well as
athletes,both adored and despised.
Also,boutique and chat sites are getting underway.
Chief Matthew Walks-Before-Sunrise of the initial hot area has already
offered extensive digital photography to the new grubstakers,who can
leave their site with a beautiful dvd containing desert backgrounds with
themselves holding up signs such as FINALLY!
The Chief speaks as if he might boost that particular one himself.
“This tribe has waited for the miraculous White Buffalo and it’s black folks!”

Question Both Academic and Important
Where is thought
in the headless
chicken which
rushes & careens
while blood
fountains?
Is thought still in
the routed head a-
mid the dust?
Or in the actor?
Academy scoffs
‘Hardly enough
to begin with,
at any rate’ as
Professor Moriarity
holds such chickens
hotfoot universally,
whatever they ponder.
Whether in Iraq,Great
Britain,or back in
the more splendid barn-
yard of the USA,where
creatures,in bouts
of whimsy,are often
dressed for photo
opportunities.

Gift of Pachyderms
The Thunder-Down Theory
Trailing the Circus Parade,
far far behind and yet
you see clouds glittering
from the instruments,larger,
more antic vibrations
from the motley clowns.
Music dopplers back and
couldn’t be zippier.
You’ll not get closer,
but will obtain
what the elephants left.

Buffalo’s Radio “Birddog” Interviews Rocco after Democrat Landside
-Good afternoon Buffalo! Well,the day after. Pick your adjecive. Stunning?
Bloodbath? Anyway,Democrats sure won. I’m in front of Celebre's in my
old South Philadelphia neighborhood. Just had an egg and pepper sandwich
with childhood friend Rocco. We are on the edge of the stadiums here.
-Go Eagles,Flyers,Sixers,Phillies!
-They booed Santa Claus,the Philly fans!
-End that myth! We threw snowball at him!
-You are the most fire-breathing Democrat I know. But,you must realize
that Republican gloating stuck in the craw of millions,and yesterday
was payback.
-No gloat.
-Good! Adult. A step towards really addressing the country’s problems.
-Let’s get on with it. Together.
-In that spirit,what would you say to Republicans?
-I’d ask.
-Then what would you ask?
-Would you like crow with that shellac?
-Not clever.
-Doesn’t hafta be.

Study: 655,000 Iraqis die because of war-AP
Tommy Malthus took an AK-47
and gave the Moslems
tickets to heaven.
When he saw this Christian
arrangement,true rock
the modern Church
is built on,
he sold his Peter
Pan and Disney
and rolled over
the 401-K
to coffin stocks.
Took a breather then,
helping Mose Allison
write “Your Time Will Come.”

Electric Republicans
-Too many of our guys are AC/DC.
-It’s a big tent,and who knows why your dick shoots up?
Blazing with love,drawing the frenzy deep into their bones.
-Our core do! Know and care. And it don’t buy no literary shit!
-I don’t either. I just like it. Well forget the sex! Just a mudbath.
DC really means Democrat Corruption.
-Yeah,that’s a sound bite extraordinaire! And AC?
-Between us,that’s our baby and bathwater. Accelerating Corruption!
-Full speed ahead?
-More like warp!
-Might John Q eventually catch on?
-I don’t think so. It’s going up his ass this very minute and he doesn’t
feel a thing. It don’t mean a thing if you don’t feel that swing.
Or...trust the thrust!
-Does everybody have a filthy mind?
-Yes! And that makes it pure. (sings) “Lots of chocolate for us to eat...”
Join in! Don’t you sing?
-Only when I’m asked. Do you know Oh What a Lovely War ?
-It’s my national fuckin anthem!

Parallels
-If you want to look nice and be considered as one of Herr Hitler’s
little boys,you’ll keep that suit clean today!
It was Sunday after church and the Germans were due in tomorrow.
Mr Mixte,the Republican committeman had already brought the brochures
to our Starr Street house in New Haven,and we learned some German.
The Japanese takeover of the Western part of the country was further
along,and they had freed the camps with great fanfare. The Journal-
Courier showed a six-column photo of a Mr Tagaki accepting the
keys of the first Nash Automobile from a Los Angeles dealer.
My father had been warned that being a Democrat was like being
a bolshevik and the Fuhrer hated them as much as Jews.
-Roosevelt! Betray your class and therefore the country,and then lose the war!
But I can’t approve if you were one of those boys,however.
Mixte was referrerring to breaking some shop windows on Oak Street,where the
furniture stores and delis were. And painting swastikas.
I smiled and he smiled,so I breathed again.
My Dad had changed his registration to Republican. That helped me too.
-Boys will be boys! he told Mr Mixte.
-We do want some zest to them,of course. Dr Goebbels is clear on this.
We had his poster in the hall. Presses couldn’t print enough Hitlers.
There was a waiting list.
(This was the parallel universe. The war turned out differently in this reality,
of course. One shared event was that my Dad did switch to Republican
after Colonel Nickerson came back to the firm and told him he
goddamn better.
Both my sister and I became Republicans and married same.
Hitler is outsized in myth. Not quite the absolute monster.
No man is. I know he smiles,though,staring over the boundary
between universes. But that’s just theory.)
