SIXTH
subdue
hissssteria of those troublesome female mass es
eased with antihisteriamines let’s get fiscal:
and pass the deep congress ional act
she said do we need protectionism?
seminal cash injections leave a mess
on both your economy and mine
pre servativ o ur values are not gd
truncated that growth stimulus package easily
feeling the explosion of that cap italicism
s crunch the fabric and col lapse into
the arms of the latest word isms
An old poem from a year ago
Nov 22nd
No cream
the scene is a slow beat
my fingers a dull grey –
a cigarette sits between them
and the kettle is volcanic.
No cream.
Day time is short and the anxious crowd
grows sharp as the phone
is mute as the sky
shrinks
into the silt
into waters they’ll never feel
