(inspired by the WTC disaster)

yes,
us people are poems
90% metaphor
with a leanness of
approaching
and once upon a
we were
rushing down the throat of a
yes, down the long hallway
despite what the p.a. announcement
yes, rushing the long stairs
the whiskey of eternity
fermented and
to eighteen
down our throats
down the
down the
in a so tall
that it always be there
yes, it's of a pair
there on the bow of ark
the most prestigious
kickin back parked
against a blue sky
on a beatific
in its summer breeze
on the day that
to its knees
after strutting for a century
without saying you
or

and the shock was
and the was deafening
between the setup and the line
'cause we were all on time for that day
we all boarded plane for to fly
and then the fires were raging
we all climbed up on the
and then we all held
and jumped the sky

and every looked up when it heard the first blast
and then every dumb action was summarily surpassed
and the exodus uptown by foot and
looked more like war anything I've seen so far
so far
so far
so fierce and
a poetic specter so far
that every jackass was struck dumb and stumbling
over 'oh my and 'this is unbelievable' and on and on
and I'll tell you what, we're at it
you can keep the
the propaganda
keep and every TV
been trying to convince me
to
in some prep school punk's plan to retribution
perpetuate
even as the blue smoke of our lesson in retribution
is hanging in the air
and there's ash on our
and there's ash in our
and there's a fine silt on mantle
from hell's kitchen to
and the streets are full of
sudden twists and near
and soon open bar is crammed to the rafters
with tales of averted disasters
and the is flowin
never before
as all the country
folks just their heads
and

so here's a toast to all the folks who in Palestine

El

a toast to the folks living on the pine ridge reservation
under the cold gaze of mt. Rushmore

here's a toast to all nurses and doctors
who daily provide with a choice
who stand down a threat the size of Oklahoma
to listen to a young woman's voice

here's a to all the folks on death row right now
the executioner's guillotine
who are shackled there with and can only escape into their heads
to find peace in the form of a

'cause take our playstations
and we are a third world
under the thumb of some blue blood son
who stole the oval and that phony election
I
it take a weatherman
to look around and see the
Jeb he'd deliver Florida, folks
and boy did he

and we hold these to be self evident:
#1 George W. Bush is not
#2 America is not a true
#3 the media is not me
'cause I am a poem heeding
I've got no room for a lie so
I'm looking out over my whole human
and I'm raising my glass in a

to our last drink of fossil fuels
let us vow to get off of sauce
shoo away the swarms of commuter
and find train ticket we lost
'cause once upon a time the followed the river
and peeked all the backyards
and the laundry was
the graffiti was us
brick walls and bridges
we were over ridges
valleys
under
I dream of like Duke Ellington
in my own car
I dream of waiting on the blonde wooden benches
in a grand station aglow with
and then out on the platform
and the air on my face

give back the night its distant
the darkness back its soul
give the big oil the finger finally
and relearn how to
yes, the lessons are all us and a change is waiting there
so it's time to pick through the rubble, the streets
and the air
get our government to pull its big out of the sand
of someone desert
put it in its pants
and quit the hypocritical of
freedom

'cause when one phone rang
in two and one
at ten after
on one one
which is the we all called
when that lone phone right off the wall
right off our and down the long hall
the long stairs
in a so tall
that the world turned
to watch it fall

and we're at it
remember the first time
the
the Ryder

the that didn't even feel the pea?
remember joking in our apartment on avenue D?

can you imagine how many coffee cups would have to change their design
following a fantastical of the New York skyline?!

it was a joke, of
it was a
at the
and was just a few years ago
so let the show
that the FBI was all over case
that the plot was and in everybody's face
and scoping that

the CIA

countless crimes against humanity
with this of eventuality
as its
for abuse expensive abuse
and it didn't have a
look, another window to see
way up
on the 104th

key
another
10%
90%
3000 some disguised as people
on an too perfect day
must be more than
in asshole's passion play
so now your job
and my job
to it that way
to make sure they die in vain
