Buddy Knows First

December 2, 2010

He leaps from the couch,
growls at the sky

looks back to me
a sad goodbye.

Soon come winds
blasted from hell.

All we can do
is bark and yell.

The Earth
soon an ember

our spirits release.

Another failed planet.
Another failed peace.

this is:
oil vs solar
marketing vs truth
walmart vs main street
insanity vs sanity
landmen vs farmland
lawyers vs community
lobbyists vs democracy
secrecy vs transparency
power vs progress
the state vs you

The DJ

schmoozes
“And now we have a request”

“Here’s a little
Rage, Against, The Machine”

Then starts to croon,on the keyboard:

“Killing in the name of!
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses…”

as the aids hand out medication.

Bone grit
explodes into
a thousand circles

welcoming home
her borrowed
physicality.

let it snow

January 8, 2010

tonight we huddle –
the crackling fire gives forth
all we require

2006/2008

still has lousy karma

January 4, 2010

Think I saw Hitler today
buzzing around piles
of slimy dog poop

making one of those
truculent speeches
to the eggs he just laid.

When I Become Santa

December 21, 2009

We move operations south,
to a thousand
desperate places.

We make toys
for souls.

Peaceful and playful
talenting toys.

Unafraid and knowing –
we walk this earth

giving gifts.

The tree we cut
and carried
into our home

the one
we shackled
then
trimmed

sang to
then
toasted

now lies
in the gutter

her
hooks
and tinsel
riffling on the wind
