there is no place
quite like the other
each valley
each plain
each mountain
each plateau
each
with its own
land forms
life forms
weather
and light
encased in a shared
halo of air
we are binding this earth in asphalt.
binding
and branding
we block the night sky
with our signs.
from
above
we look
like fire
Discovering Tyrants

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

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.
