-Looks pretty, no?
-But it’s crap!
-Crap can’t look nice?
-To depraved tastes, yes.

Nods
When Ginger2 left
the men agree
that women still can’t
handle the Freedom
“we granted them.”
Both nod sagely.
The sage nod has im-
printed over centuries.
Best to try another...for
the girls that is!

The Man Who Decided
never again to decide,
met the woman ditto.
They...drift.
Not that their friends can tell.
A little like HISTORY.
Some great movements hardly noted.
So why don’t we knock it off?
What?

“Entertainment”
Europeans getting it
together to sing in
grimy light.
The best

in sum.
Mid crumbling
from urinous history.
In the bright keeps,
no need.
The gods sleep.

Russia
-No Volga Boatmen?
-Disappointingly!
-Fetching Female Peasants? Or Krazy Kulak, dying, stuffs his boots with cash, drenches all with honey, devours the whole shebang so his heirs got squat?
-More modern than literary society with plenty of cabs and whores!
-No Babushkas either?
-Ladies available wearing same.
-And did they swish swish SWISH as you fucked?
-What a sick question!
-I was raised by women becoming men!
-Sound-effects enrapture most modern species.

Mummies Still Found
No such thing as History.
Rather Continuing Present

as we speak
of ballscores and
Girls So Pretty

Trail of Tears, too, endless.
(Quite short in jollity that!)
Alexander the Great

His harrowing regret

And stores

Impossible to sort all

Inventing History
The Soft Coup
What else is new?
When the women took over
the Government, we awaited
jarring change.
Bizarre by pretending otherwise
All ran the same. Pretty much
the hoggish way the men did.
Uneasy! Where’s the buzzsaw?
President Monica Sawyel counseled
patience. Her next term would embody
the bulk of the changes.
What about now? The dirty cards in
today’s deck?
First concentration in Arts!
So many floating loafers already.
A five play cycle featuring superlative
warrior, Meldornia!
Slight problem in that she never existed?
The young women must be saved
by having something to believe in!
Yeah, a lie!
We never had one based on lies?
Not entirely.
Oh?

DeClare and The Professor
-Marie Antoinette wisecracked
Let them eat cake! when told
the people had no bread.
-What she actually said was
Cherchez le Kike!
-So that old universal: Blame
the Jew!
-I could get a second PhD on
that anecdote alone!
-Except you made it up! Fake News!
-I did? I ask in all seriousness because
as I get older I can't pick the threads out.
-They get to be the same?
-Maybe I should take a year to de-Bullshit?
-Don’t bother! You can’t begin
to diminish its mighty force!
Rules the Wide World!

Then
Two Custodians at the High School
-What’s on the stage? Crippled hippies and oldish
men and women.
-Program from History Department. Mr Alkhers.
All of ‘em against Vietnam War way back when.
-Sure don’t look like anybody today!
-Nope. Had guts.

Spirit and Truth
Many Japanese have soft-
ly spoken to trees and
rocks in The Moss-
Covered Forest. Rape
of Nanking kept from
them: understood.
In any case,
moss muffles
history for good.

The Future of Sex
Estelle-7 and Mona-4 couldn't stop
quarreling. Their human husbands
kept them apart, so the insults sped
electronically.
All to the effect of sex: which robot had
the techniques that madden thoroughly?
Insuring wondrous ecstasy! Uh huh?
The Robot World specialized in hyperbole.
And when the husbands didn't really seem
to care about the fighting, the state butted in.
The men ordered to sell the robots.
And take on Dorotheas. These models
discussed history and literature.
And joined civic groups.
Robot Resale handled the auction.
Winner of both: Rev Cotton Mather--
yes a descendent, but no fire-breather.
A temperate clergyman, though giddy
notes started creeping into his sermons.

Just Shopping?
Future Women
-Some say Ruthie-7 is just badly miked.
-That's not the only thing she's badly!
-Some guys go for all the whispering. Turns 'em on.
-Takes all kinds, unfortunately.
-Well, trade her in. There's a guarantee.
-Ever read that? Crap squared.
-They'll give you SOMEthing, maybe on a Monica.
-What's the word on her?
-Eat your Wheaties!
-Unfamiliar with the allusion.
-Americans don’t know their history!

Is it Granada I See or Only
Asbury Park? 2 *
I object to the "only"
but wags counter it's
understood anyway.
Americans tend to worship
the old and often ruined.
A guide takes you to
a place bums piss
and calls it History.

Study History, Anthropology etc
Thoroughly interested in how
they did it then, since we don't
really know what we’re doing
at present. Our doubt for now
concerns the endless rout
of so-cautious thought by
fatal happenstance. “O
if I could only get a breathing
space!” On that personal level,
it‘s not you who writes finis.
But without much adieu
we’ll all muddle through
sans your hysterical input.
Remember that before you
again do History.

Choices
Choosing a span,
the historian
draws it out.
Owns its lust-

Have the one you're in,
making what you will.
Jury out on it.
And you.
