The 1950's kids' show host stopped his routine in mid-sentence. Several young boys in the audience were reeling, laughing, pointing... Captain 5 asked one what was so funny. "Luther pooted" was the answer. Another said, "Harvey farted" The Captain, an English major, grinned and said: "Flatulent assonance"

Those bright streaks against the blue Scratches made from huge diamonds, perhaps, or simply the handiwork of something divine, made in high silence. I've seen those lines, etched straight across heaven's immensity. But are they made from below or above?

I have questions, like why do some go before me, Or why is it that the hairs in my left nostril grow faster than those in my right? What thoughts or images filled my mother's mind while she retreated into it, Not recognizing those she brought into the world? There must be signs Somewhere, For someone As to how I can get answers. But more importantly, are these the best questions to be asking?

The Donald lives for the bombastic And rubbing elbows with the glitterati. What he thinks so fantastic Locates him square with the illiterati. Beguiling all from North to South, A heart of stone, black and iced. Hate and mayhem spill from his mouth Might The Donald be the Antichrist?
