This is what it felt like to me to be in el Capitolio de Puerto Rico.
-
What happens to the people who fall through the cracks?
They weren't worth any money anyway, right?
-
and your head swells grotesque
to bursting from your dark black suit
-
-
I am broke in a rain
coat. Held-by-------chains.
-
a picturebook piece, with music
-
-
-
Ten little demi-gods,
awash with so much power,
-
Gasping, shaking, twitching,
Fighting for myself

Long lonely days turned aching
years of wistful want, rosy eyed
-

Imposing its will and showing only one way.

The world watched
as the Olympic torch

The sickening smell of gasoline and gore
I can’t take much more of this Goddamn war.

Sniper Fire? What sniper fire?
-
I can't really "do" anything.
I couldn't build a birdhouse to save my life

"Amandla Awethu!"
Roar it with me,
-
I am Capitalist Society Man
fill up and eat all I can
-
Residential aspirations
for the Presidential chair,
-
I often wondered why manmade laws fail.
They are canny compromised concoctions
-
The tribbles, the tribbles,
oh, the poor, sweet, little tribbles
