The Literary Process of Government*
When they came for my neighbor
and led him away after
shoving panties on his head...
I said nothing
When they came for my friend
and forced a bra over his
alligator shirt,
I kept quiet
Now they’re in my doorway waving
a pink nightie.
Inspired by Guantanamo anecdotes
(or Mock On, Voltaire, Rousseau!)

“Necessary Furniture of Empire”*
At the Garage Sale
Americans picked up
most of the Viceroy
chairs. Though the French
had included Devil's Island
potpourri, most shunned.
Guantanamo being
fully appointed.
