obsessions always leave a wake

August 19, 2007
I heard “oral sex”
ten thousand times more
than “terrorism”.
I saw her face
ten thousand times more
than bin Laden’s.
If only it had been otherwise…

No more
security,
just spycurity.
No more sleeping
in peace,
only sleeping
while watched.

Is peace – right now – your enemy?

September 11, 2006
It seemed a time of respect.
Skies were skies,
no chalky lines
of manufactured smoke,
only birds and clouds and flags.
Terrorism
was not yet entertainment.
Guns and cleavage
had temporarily disappeared from the screen.
Reflection and restraint
seemed a collective value.
Never to return,
we lived briefly
in the peaceful eye
of chaos.

How Not To Lead
March 22, 2006
Put the maximization of profit above all ideals
call it the American dream.
Invite lobbyists to secretly make policy
declare it executive privilege.
Listen only to people who agree with you
pretend you do otherwise.
Paint all who dissent with a broad pink brush
label them a problem.
Intimidate rather than dialogue
blame it on evil.
squander a surplus
build a deficit
outsource torture
ignore law
fatten the rich
squeeze the poor
call yourself a Christian.
