What are you conserving, I asked my unread conservative friend.
The American Way

he said.
Like
in the songs, like back when Superman
was black and white, but

we knew,
his kryptonic heart
was read pure white and blue

and we still know,
green greed and
black time and chance, if those were never re-
al-ified, he could be,
he could be but,
for that militarial industrial mental complex
which made
Daddy Warbucks
money-ify Kryptonite,

other wise Superman would save us, so
we conserve the idea of America, as a spirit,
Drums and fifes and shots fired round the world

we stand, for the American way. Superman would.

With what deeds are you judged liberal,

I asked my friend whose hero was Fidel,
when he was ten.

My friend, swift to answer, ready, with a bullhorn:

my writing and my speaking and my teaching are liberal.

Those lable you? what is deemed liberality for which
ye are judged?

Oh, I am not judged, I am in the adminstrative side,
I administer social justice by allowing critical
appreciation of the sense under lying
dadaistic community
gardens. which produce liberal reasons for
deeming faith a very low class
exercise in sapient sapience.

Whom teach ye?
Those who are sent to be taught by selection committees,
who sort tests, based on statiscal
weights and measures pre
dicted apriori for the best
social cultural
outcome.

Who pays you? Each of you.
con-server, liberal,
Who weighed your worth
in this fifty-fifty polictic project,

organical and all,

who runs the show? Is it spiracy?

Are elections pre ordained?

Was W. called by Oil and Trump oracled by Konami?
Was Barack Husein simply gas?
A UFO illusion?

Some thing the gut biome of the nation
burped or expelled from other orficees?

How did the assets of the fed expand
4.5 times since 2008,

when all I had conserved melted
with deflation of

the noise, zeitgeistiical,
humm, hear it? Do you?
Brainless axiomatic synaptic static?

Manifest destiny? Google it.

No. I checked. Not preordained. Things change.

This is the way.

The point of the story is, good news.
it is finished.Β Β Spaceship earth, nothing broken, nothing missing,

We have crews seeking survivors.

one day at a time. Share the road, share the load,
pay the piper, rule your realm,

make peace the leisure you worked for,
call enough enough

Remind them of the flight they all recall,
ask them if they ever dream
unknown
realisms in the realms of reasons re
cognized
in poetseerprophessor metaphors, in which

no warrior could act

as a liberal conserver re
pairing wind blown circuits.

Our peacemade hero inquisitor
of truth,

the wise king, retires on the dragon's hoard and
laughs at how easy it all became,

after imagining how Poke' mon really works,
in an open state of mind.

"A republic, if you can keep it." that was the dream.
The dream Plato imagined could work,

if we could get past that
neccessary fiction war insisted was traditional.

There's more than one "here." It's sad that 'possums ate a litter of kittens in my tool shed. It's not easy to wax a car with a turtle. It takes 3 to love 2 islands. I shall give up the notion of capping my teeth alone. ******- means split. The human brain is the most complexly-divine, organical structure on our Earthen plane. Men of ill-will must corrupt it. By the time you fall asleep, new news'll be old. Oh God, what big affairs 17-year-olds have!

how fast can money grow,
whoa, tens of billions to trillions,
in a mere forty year trek

in money worshipping
weapon extending rhino horn
carnal triune mind body boundaries,
some intelligence communities, are guts,
we get gut level info,
and guts stink,
on the inside, where we decide
courage is core collection carry ons,
as gaseous we decide
to suggest chewing charcoal

some pride
gulp
that's all heart and vagus nerve loop deciding
given just cause
to realize Agent Orange was

or do we choose

easy, given an instance,

A form of mind, and a frame of mind,
often can contain changing minds
and, trust me, dying, is changing,

if anybody remembers, once
seeming self aware… inside out.
Indeed, I do appreciate the ready eyes that read between times retold lies about who decides peace or war.
