This is a round table discussion where I listen to the needs of others. They are called lobbyists. They are usually white men in good suits. My kind of people.

Here I am at a secret meeting. We are making energy policy.

In the days of antennae
atop wooden consoles –
we pulled in whatever
was out there.

Much of it,
old war footage:
tanks in mud
men on stretchers
cannon flashing
Zeros falling

and Der Fuhrer
pounding his fist
in truculent German
to adoring masses.

I would wonder:
what is he saying?
why is he so pissed?
why would people like him?

(Just as a non anglophone might think
when first seeing and hearing a Limbaugh)

Our country was born of
contempt for privilege.

Yet today we are besmirched

for having those same
patriotic opinions.

The United States
ought to be about
dialogue and diplomacy
solutions and life –

not attack and torture,
rendition and rape.
