and had something to say
i remember watching gunnery sgt. emil foley salute an invisible zach mayo once
he’s actor louis gossett jr.
and i always forget what mcgovern was trying to say

Another Austerity Dinner
take a 1/4 box of old macaroni
add in another 1/4 box of even older spaghetti
boil with some freezer burned veggies
then chill
grab a small piece of dried out refrigerator cheese
trim the mold
cut whatever’s left into cubes
open 1 can of off-brand food bank tuna
drain it and save it
check the date on the mayonnaise
also that jar of sweet relish
take the cheese
and dump all three in with the noodles and veggies
hey man!
don’t forget your tuna!
season with salt, pepper, and garlic salt
then stir it like roseanne conner taught you
voilà!
bon appétit!
do eat it before it gets warm.

Joint Strike Swallow Program
watching the amazing Tachycineta bicolor
attack and devour prey
while engaged in incredibly well-thought-out
aerodynamic flight
i am reminded of Lockheed Martin’s F-35
built to kill with grace and speed
the tree swallow
worth every bit its price
Lockheed’s F-35
not worth a penny of
its 400 billion dollar price
watching the amazing Tachycineta bicolor
attack and devour prey
while engaged in incredibly well-thought-out
aerodynamic flight
i am reminded of Lockheed Martin’s F-35
