Dream Chipper
June 29, 2009
Run my dreams
through the chipper
down the chute –
into the hole.
Cover this bootless
pile with
lye
gravel
dirt
seed.
The green blades will bend
beneath my shiny shoes:
I toss the kids into the air
they float down like elm seeds.
the wife
watches
from her
windows
Put me
on the train
clickity clack
clickity clack.
Run the tunnel
ride the shaft
bury me in a prolapsed mine
of glass and steel.
the boss
watches
from his
windows
I kneel in church
and stare at the bodies before me.
(I traded my soul
for these marching boots.)
We half believe
something
bigger is
watching.
I am frozen
in a pious pose.

the devil makes me do it
March 16, 2009
Rather than deny
our beastly origins,
let us embrace
the little monsters.
We cannot teach those
we do not embrace.
We tend to kill them.

June 29, 2008
The United States
ought to be about
dialogue and diplomacy
solutions and life –
not attack and torture,
rendition and rape.
