(inspired by the WTC disaster)

yes,
us are just poems
we're 90%
with a of meaning
approaching
and once upon a
we were
rushing down the of a giraffe
yes, down the long hallway
despite the p.a. announcement says
yes, rushing down the stairs
with the of eternity
fermented and
to eighteen
down our throats
down the
the stairs
in a building so
it will always be there
yes, part of a pair
on the bow of Noah's ark
the prestigious couple
just kickin parked
against a blue sky
on a morning
in its Indian breeze
on the day America
to its knees
after strutting around for a
saying thank you
or

and the was subsonic
and the smoke was
the setup and the punch line
'cause we were all on time for work day
we all boarded that for to fly
and then while the fires raging
we all climbed up on the
and then we all hands
and jumped the sky

and every borough up when it heard the first blast
and then every action movie was summarily surpassed
and the exodus uptown by foot and
looked more like war than I've seen so far
so far
so far
so fierce and
a poetic specter so far
that every jackass newscaster was struck dumb and
over 'oh my god' and is unbelievable' and on and on
and tell you what, while we're at it
you can keep the
the propaganda
keep and every TV
that's been to convince me
to
in some prep school punk's to perpetuate retribution
perpetuate
even as the toxic smoke of our lesson in retribution
is hanging in the air
and ash on our shoes
and ash in our hair
and there's a fine on every mantle
from kitchen to Brooklyn
and the are full of stories
twists and near misses
and soon every bar is crammed to the rafters
with of narrowly averted disasters
and the whiskey is
like before
as all over the
folks shake their heads
and

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

El

here's a to the folks living on the pine ridge reservation
under the stone cold gaze of mt.

here's a toast to all those and doctors
who daily women with a choice
who stand down a threat the size of Oklahoma
just to 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 dread and can escape into their heads
to find in the form of a dream

'cause away our playstations
and we are a third world
under the thumb of some blue royal son
who the oval office and that phony election
I
it don't a weatherman
to look and see the weather
Jeb said he'd deliver Florida,
and boy did he

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

here's to our last drink of fuels
let us vow to get off of this
shoo the swarms of commuter planes
and that train ticket we lost
'cause once upon a the line followed the river
and peeked into all the
and the was waving
the was teasing us
from brick walls and
we were over ridges
through
under
I dream of touring like Duke
in my own car
I dream of on the tall blonde wooden benches
in a station aglow with grace
and then standing out on the
and feeling the air on my

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

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

and we're at it
the first time around?
the
the Ryder
the garage?
the princess didn't even feel the pea?
remember joking around in our apartment on D?

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

it was a joke, of
it was a

so let the record
that the FBI was all over that
that the plot was obvious and in face

for abuse after abuse
and it have a clue

some poems disguised as people
on an almost too day

in some passion play
so now it's job
and my job
to make it way
to make sure they die in vain
