On the Outside Looking In
December 21, 2008
You never look
at me.
I often look
at you.
You have
those things
I am told
bring happiness.
I have
those things
I am told
bring shame.
I look into
your restaurant –
you spend
my week’s wages
in a night
so elegant
so white
table cloths
and candles
fine wine
and waiters.
I could go on
and on,
but I have been ordered
to move along…
Class Warfare ?

Why not?
The rich are already
kicking our asses
changing in place

How to be a great teacher of self absorption
December 21, 2007
Put yourself on the cover
of every issue.
Name it after you.
Live in a mansion
with fourteen bathrooms
and only two asses.
Build an exclusive school
amidst great need –
create clones of yourself.
Go orgasmic over
shiny things
as if they bring happiness.
leave me alone for Christmas

Like in a glass-sided beehive,
the poor and dying press
against the window of my mind.
I cover the glass with candy canes
and Santas.
dear God

help us to understand
(not that we would change
anything)
hand out condoms

hand out condoms
shelter people from abuse
talk to the lonely
instead we preach hell
build mansions
brick walls
