South and Portions of West
-Hey! Gulf has gotten impossibly wide. And I’m sick of hearing their cretinous drivel through the mouths of Republican hypocrites!
-Let them secede? Form their own Hee-Haw Nation?
-Encourage it!
-Will they have The Bomb?
-Haven’t thought of that.
-Open Carry Law for small atomic weapons?
-Really? Stow the hyperbole!
-I go a little crazy.
-I get the idea though: Best hold them
obnoxiously close.
-What a thought!

Had To Be There
The motorcyclist stops,
lifts his black visor,
smiles, triggers the bomb.
Everybody runs.
Rosa starts to, but realizes
she’s gone,
and thumps down.
Madame Hartzell, fat, rolls
a distance in the shock
wave after. One fore-
ground head and trunk
sings of its beloved.

New Wine in Old Boffos
-It’s hardboiled detective drama from the Forties.
With the boxy clothes! Can’t have Chevvie SUVs and
humongous vans, and Special K on breakfast tables!
-Handsome product placement fees!
-They’re anachronisms!
-So is the producer! Here for thirty years and still
can’t speak English!
-Doesn’t affect the product.
-The PRODUCT? Is it affected by a director fresh off his latest
detox after the boyfriend finally left? A leading man and lady
without a discernable IQ between them? Techs who’ve been
around so long that this Jewel in the Crown is not the worst
crap they’ve worked on?
-Never mind all that! Let’s keep the integrity of the script.
-That WHAT? It started straight-stupid drama, and then sent
itself up for demented chuckles. It’s a total, unreclaimable mess!
ANYWAY...as they say in Chinatown, let’s cut to the Chink!
-Which is?
-You got shit? Swing with it!

Staging
Einstein downplayed
his role in the The Bomb.
More and more as he aged.
We replay dramas, casting
ourselves differently. Light-
ing better sides mostly.
Though it’s also possible
to flip from hero to villain.
But not for long.
At any rate, we hobnob
with motley selves daily. So
hail dear, dazzling Albert,
same as us. Whether wrong
or wronged, God rest him
all road ever he offended!
