"dulles" poems
I hate airplanes.
I hate them
More than
Anything
I've ever hated.
Except the flight
From Dulles
To Ft. Lauderdale.
I like that.
Especially at night
When it feels like
Stars
Can be caught with
A thin fishing line
Twenty feet away
And eventually you
Go off the mainland
And can't tell where
The water starts
Or
The stars stop.
Then you see a
Sudden line of lights below
And beyond that
An infinity of bright bursts
Of lights
And lamps.
All darkness,
Then suddenly
Light.
I really hate planes.
But not the flight
From Dulles
To Ft. Lauderdale
At night.
I love that.

Two different shade of colors
One portrays good deeds
a kind heart
Ready to give anything to meet people needs
Sometimes I wish that was me
But it's hard to be happy when black
Is in my company
Happiness isn't a shade I can't see
Only the torturous black comforts me
Hugs me tight like a lost friend you don't want to see
It's uncomfortable like when my dad try's to speak to me
White is the light
It's shine can't reach me through the night
Only in shades of grey
Dulles my heart
Like a knife that's lost its usefulness
It's hard to find white
When I'm so use to black

Been an expat all my adult life,
It wouldn't be shocking to say that
I never knew where my home is.
There is the home of my family, my childhood memories,
There is the home I built around a job,
In a country far away from where I opened my eyes to this world.
Yet something was missing in both,
Not knowing what,
Till we met for the first time, at Dulles.
That was the first time we saw each other in flesh.
You hugged me so hard,
And held my hand,
Never to let go.
And I realized you were my home,
For the name you have, Ev, meaning "home" where I come from.

----------- SYTF E
War stories, secret fifty years,
then Trumps team added enough
for the names on the payroll to die.
Here we go again,
let's visit 1892 Nietzsche,
let's recollect the opera of it all,
We had characters, and complexes,
all from these sprachen mit Zararthustra,
unglaublichkeit
kein weg, wir wissen, es tut mir leid.
- we are barred from war study.
Dulles Brothers,
Wick trimmer John,
***** war to fix the judges.
So, intention to twist a human hair.
- in my judgement, its allowed
Frizzy splitting, dry broken ends,
caught there in the web,
seen fly's eyes close,
that proves you,
your code,
at attention, present in the scene,
we know the drill,
or so we have been led to believe.
Taught, trained, gently fed a fear,
of being selectable by the art intuit init
running on sense if
ever was a muse
used to tell time
to seem sequential,
after the hallelujah, in the ritual mass,
- peace on earth- heard under stars
message to the many from the few,
though the many be accused of shame
from ignorance evinced in use of tools,
IT as a calling is new, AI invented it,
MyTechPeople used it, the idea that
other people sell their know how, using
code, to identify the attention deficit
disorder undermined by primordial
old time rights of record rising on yes,
as the one word answer./
Used at instants, invisible at freeway speeds.

#*Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot*…
Joni Mitchell
Fighting their wars in business suits
Blowing up peasant villages
Lying, While the Pentagon loots
Our failing empire pillages.
The wonder boys from Ivy Leagues
Look good on paper, making war
Their covert actions and intrigues
Exhibit what they tax us for.
Patriot boogey-man ** Chi Minh
Was armed by US in forty-five;
Then made the foe as we sent in
Our troops. And some returned alive.
The Dulles brothers, with their spooks
Testing strategies, had a ball
Dropping ****** on the *****
Earth turned into a shopping mall.
And now, some puppet in Ukraine
(a Chinese laundry for their cash),
Requests more arms. So please explain
Before Crimea burns to ash.
That’s all. Their only long-term vision:
Body-counts— first bomb, then Starbucks.
Spectacles on television;
Do not question Daddy Warbucks.

who's that on the grassy knoll
disappeared down a rabbit hole
what's that on the picket fence
puff of smoke it all makes sense
metal flyin' everywhere
we all know but they don't care
mauser was the toy they found
it don't match the killer's round
soldiers soldiers follow me
I'll tell you what you need to see
there's only one goal
only one mission
believe the lie

Liberals love them—then they don’t.
And live to help them (till they won’t).
Neighbors fresh from Guatemala;
Salvador or Nicaragua…
Fleeing failed drug-plantations
U.S-sponsored situations;
Where corruption harvests fruits,
Doling out the business suits.
United Fruit Co. on the skids
Allen Dulles’ ******* kids . . .
For Arbenz overthrown, and worse
Our wicked past has caused this curse:
The training/arming of their thugs
Snorting about a War on Drugs…
Inform yourself on how this started
You, so smugly openhearted:
Aid diversity’s expansion—
House them in your sumptuous mansion.
Not to cut your grass, or build
but more to get their dream fulfilled
Since Allen Dulles owns the guilt
Destroying when we should have built
And sending troops to bananeros,
Lauding them as valiant heroes
For repressing Mayan peasants:
Help them now unwrap their presents.

Burnt sugar spangles
checker a green wall
the morning I'm on
an emergency call
with my former therapist,
who calls you my
major adult relationship,
& she is right.
_Of course it hurts,
to lose that.
There's her, and then
there's everyone else,
& it doesn't feel close,
does it?_
We're in a strange place.
I'd give anything I own
to board the next flight
from Dulles to Dublin
& nestle into the crook
of your arm over coffee
& almonds.
_You put everything
you had into this one..._
Instead I'm selling
this condo so full of you
that I can scarcely breathe,
moving back downtown
where the whitish blots
dip back and forth,
& waiting, waiting,
for something to change,
_You just have to be patient
until she is ready
for one thing or the other._
& then it's noon,
& the call is over,
& the bobbin of sun
riffles back its little coins.
One thing, or the other.
Or the other.
