Golden Mean
Another sanctimonious Republican
chomps the sexual dust! So what?
If you lack sin, then pitch a high
hard one. Missing the lesson, am I?
Try the gal-
ling hypocrisy?
His or yours?

While Some Sleep, Others Fret
Late-night radio offers abundance
of credit repair hope. No fee dis-
closed, but I’m guessing a gouge in
The American Capitalist Tradition of
milking the spavined failure. Conformist
Japanese proverb applies: When the nail-
head sticks up you hammer it down.

Brace of Hard Reporters
-Retire? What from? What to? He was the very worst guy for politics: a loner.
-Never made the connections.
-I suppose to that house on the freezing lake. Then he takes a hike in the
woods from time to time. Let me sit down...the excitement!
-As a Republican, that’d be a tramp in the woods.
-Or a boy.

Rocco and the Iranian
ROCCO
You look, could be, Iranian? Excuse me, but...?
IRANIAN
Guilty.
ROCCO
We don’t get many in South Philadelphia.
IRANIAN
No, you need a certain set of qualities. I like Celebre’s egg and pepper sandwich, and I’m going to the Phillies afternoon game.
ROCCO
No demonstrations?
IRANIAN
Rally at the university tonight. So, I’m relaxing now. Man does not live
on politics alone,
ROCCO
Coulda fooled me. So, fixed election?
IRANIAN
Yeah a page from your book.
ROCCO
We don’t hafta fix ‘em. Supreme court awards the office to benefactor’s
dim kid.
IRANIAN
Such kids abound in my country.
ROCCO
A day that will live in infamy!
IRANIAN
You have many of these days?
ROCCO
Stopped counting.

Rocco appears at this site serially--always never in doubt.

Taking To the Streets
Throwing down the gauntlet
to tyranny: “Will you kill us all?”
In Western, greasy-chops politics:
Why y’all in a lather over nothing.
We can talk this here thing out.
In Eastern theocracies,
Yes.

Rocco and the Plutocrat
ROCCO
Hey Pete the Plutocrat! Slumming?
PETE
I always return to my childhood bakery here!
ROCCO
Very South Philly!
PETE
You can take the boy out of...
ROCCO
And put him into a Chauffeur-driven Bentley and a Main Line Mansion.
PETE
Fruits of Labor.
ROCCO
And lawyers. But listen! You’re the only wealthy guy I know who’s not crying poor-mouth, and continuously bitching and moaning about the government robbing him. Even during massive money transfer to your class from the rest of us under Bush. Now you’ll lose under the evil Democrats and Obama.
PETE
I’m guessing half a percent.
ROCCO
How about these wars? Kicking the shit outa all of us really.
PETE
Money never lost a war. Let me buy you a cannoli.
ROCCO
Buy? What a quaint notion. Take! That’s your way.
PETE
Why not say steal?
ROCCO
You were one slick kid!
PETE
I grew up!

Oh you’re full of talk,

The Think Tank
I’ve invented a think tank
to award myself prizes. Oh,
I’ll reward others consonant
with my philosophy: Best
stated as Muscular Christianity.
Always attacked thus
always attacking!
Founders foresaw blood, and us.
We scan the Constitution as
a document of continuing rage
in the service of God.

Logos and Crime
When I look at my most expensive
prescription, always top drug firm logo.
Does CEO realize he’s
fucking me? I wonder.
Or could he explicate w/Dog &
Pony Shows that the firm carries
humongous costs for research etc?
Maybe even convince me
of astringent truth. No.
Back to 1st question:
Realize?
Maybe?
Block?
Perhaps.
Joke w/confederates? Who
knows?
“Tell Michael it wasn’t personal.
I always liked him.”

Late Meal In Italian Village
AMERICAN
Just saw documentary on Sydney Opera House. Icon now, but original architect left in a huff.
DANE
Typical Dane!
AMERICAN
How come so many great architects come from...?
DANE
In a cold climate you think warm thoughts.
AMERICAN
There have been great architects from your warm Italian climate.
ITALIAN
Of course, in ancient times mostly. But life is not architecture. Pass the wine!
DANE
I can think of a few Americans too.
AMERICAN
Well there we have both climates. And many Southern citizens trying to shove God down your throat.
ITALIAN
You don’t enjoy life, and are miserable in your power. This is my country and there is loveliness everywhere. Look around in the moonlight! And the waitress looks like a film star, and is so sweet you can forget the sugar for your coffee!
DANE
Will we let him have the last word here?
AMERICAN
Yes!

go ahead and create it! Any-

The Matter
Gave it requisite thought
and decided. "Premature!
Professor Swirtzky’s book
just out!" my face gets informed at
Barnes and Noble. Later, his
despisers chime in. "How could I...?
Without hearing them out?" Now his
supporters email me at such length
my machine crashes. Remind all
from neighbor’s that I have already
decided! Matter settled! They flame me
for wilful ignorance.
In many things, yes,
but not this time.
