THE SUNDAY PAPER
Sixty lives are all linked with thirty kidneys for survival.
Scientists are suggesting sweeping the skies clean
with a celestial broom…. A man has scuffed his shoe
(which was costly)on the sidewalk. Women
dream of democracy, but the government
burns their children and there isn’t a shroud to see.
I am drinking tea and eating cookies,
it’s a Sunday afternoon, and almost time for
my nap, as my head nods and bobs again.
The world of foreclosures was falling off the page.
I felt as if I was fighting a judge… loosing the battle
my house falling into a ditch. And then the moat
opens into castle walls lined with red liveried men
draped in gold braids. And what magnificence (f/o me).
A postscript to my dream, my dream of a white stallion,
harnessed to hoof over the moors.
All our greatest presidents were lucky.
They inherited national crises.
All but one preferred a Nerdgasmic life
a life that can be supplemented
with a Gallup poll approval rating.
So late in the afternoon and already
a dog has been fed and walked down
the road to *** on a walnut tree.
