Two birds sitting on a fence:
Pete & Repeat.
Pete flew away.
Who was left?
Repeat.
Endless loop.
Fecking idiots!

"A target of interest."
"A person of interest."
These are scary words,
Given the current state of
Surveillance & Security.
The means is there to conduct
War on a retail basis, focusing down to
Individual thought criminals
This is the greatest threat to our
Democracy today, God help us.
Orwellian, to be sure.
What's next? Philip K. ****'s
Minority Report?

And Trump--like Queeg--
On the stand, juggling steel ball bearings,
Rambling on, defending himself,
Trickling out, pinching off minutiae,
The Court Martial panel stunned,
The Naval Board of Inquiry
Had to just look away.

If I’d known you were coming,
I would have straightened up the place,
Stashed the empty wine bottles,
Trashed the roaches,
Baked a cake,
Gotten rid of the girl.

And it was at Mantua that my eyes
Turned into spiders & wove a web
To catch kindness on the wing.

Day breaks.
Night falls.
But no one gets hurt.

If you need a place to pick your nose,
Eat contraband &/or beat your meat,
How blessed thou art with
Your own bedroom, Adolescent;
Your personal Reichstag Bunker,
Your private Junker Bauhaus, if
You get my drift?
If you don’t, “*******!”
I am not here to entertain you.

What could be more natural?
Chinese Jews playing mah-jongg
In Kaifeng, a now faded imperial city
Near the banks of the Yellow River.

For the record:
The aid & comfort you gave me,
Your relief & solace during wartime
Was love, just love;
Neither treason nor adherence,
Mere grace rendered.

Prince:* truly a self-produced man;
“Purple Rain”—simply a masterpiece.
Sail smoothly sweet Prince.
May you find yourself on the
Big Stage, shucking & jiving
For Love & Honor of God:
**“That’s entertainment!"

“And he offered me $3,500.00 in cash,
All I had to do was sleep with him twice a week,
Let him **** me all he could & then
Blow him/**** him off—
Serious hand & mouth action—
For $3,500.00 a week,
Every week.
That’s $15,000 a month—
Serious money—
Not “*******” money,
But a comfortable living,
Unless, of course, you have a
Serious coke habit, which I don’t.
So, who wouldn't?"
