reflected
in your pane
jets pass
through
reflecting
on our pain
that could be a missile too

False Echo
the point where
even the choir wont listen
endless war
wolf blitzer no longer
lingers
general schwarzkopf’s
dead
endless war
to the streets!
for bread
war is endless
every day
Warhol tomato soup
everyday war
makes lots of
bread
to the streets!
the art of protest
illegal
art is dead

The Pretend Political Divide
standing
atop the mountain
hoping
for what might be there
thin air was it
thin air
was all that was there

Shouting Fire in a Crowded Empire
one costco paper towel
large enough to live underneath of
two wadded up costco paper towels
the midsection Frosty would be proud of
three conjoined costco paper towels
often mistaken for a small back road
me and my underutilized costco paper towel
one coffee
and
one slightly burnt piece of toast

Esquivar el Mopar
super bowl commercials
designed to sell us
something
patriotism
beer
and sex
sex
beer
and patriotism
dare to be different
be vigilant

Dot Com’s in Bagram
if i knew as much about Iraq
as i did 30 Rock
liz lemon would be Yemen
while jack donaghy
would never be
caught dead
in DCU’s

Fascist Killer
some machines will kill fascists
some machines won’t
oftentimes
it’s just about a song
stuck in my head
