"ferreted" poems
"They're selling postcards of the hanging" Bob Dylan
Frolicking in the Hague festooned
as if some monarch's golden jubilee
not a room left empty in all the land
queues for miles to get a ringside seat
at what is billed as The Trial of Man
as W, **** and Rummy sit chained
to the bionic calves of barstools while
Condo Lisa bears witness atop a piano
ferreted throughout the conurbation
breadlines and circuitous routes
recalling the Nicaraguan case
low on the radar of short-term
the disunited states of disarray
vetoes its own trial's outcome
and it is business as usual

Was getting ready
To interview
Someone
Who goes to and from the office
Daily in an ambulance
All questions
About death
Were interrupted by life
So I changed track
And ferreted about for questions on life
Then death too barged in
About an ordinary vehicle becoming an Ambulance,
About an ambulance becoming
An ordinary vehicle
A casual end,
As if there is no homework needed
For the world’s most boring interview.

by the symptoms
ferreted
the causes came out
one by one
in dreams
