Happy Valentine’s Day from the AHA
your love
is like the cupcake frosting
stuck
to my butter knife
and there it clings
and there it stays
even hot water
won’t melt it away
your love
is like the walls of my arteries
clinging
like cupcake frosting
to my butter knife
and there it clings
and there it stays

Repeat it Enough
Freedom Isn’t Free
Freedom Isn’t Free

Freedom Isn’t Free
Freedom Isn’t Free
Freedom Isn’t Free
Freedom Isn’t Free

It Was Actually Uzbekistan’s Dream That Was Lost in Translation

Baby Steps
Remember that time when the Korean War never ended?
It was just before the 53′ World Series,
and long after Lockheed Martin
took over.

From 1968 With a Bullet
a Crockett and Tubbs cell phone
could operate on
just one-quarter
my smart phone now operates on
tantalite, cassiterite or wolframite
all of which rhymes with
slave labor
from 1968 with a bullet
Frank Zappa
was and still is
right

Party at the Austerity Thrift
my thrift shop’s got no roof
there’s only one window
and the breeze flows through the bars
my thrift shop’s got no roof
sock pairs sold
but only
by the
halves
my thrift shop’s got no roof
fire escape is the window
and the breeze flows through the bars
it’s a good thing my thrift shop’s
got no roof
