from a red notebook, circa summer 2021

Horrible prose of History where
    poets proudly proclaim the
benevolence of kings, Glory
    while
Nations tremble and
    wait in the doldrums
    of time

Sweet kiss goodnight
Empire of the stars
    smiling down on us
    while
Heaven rains
    phosphor tears


Trudge through
    tremendous tribulation,
and exalt the prolonged
suffering of our birthright



                                      .    .    .



Fractal Asymptote
    Nearing the centre
Conflagration
    Holocaust that
    will never reach
                The End

Midway
A new beginning

Pacific Theater of Cruelty
    Precipitous Plutonium
Ginsberg scratching odes
    on the cell wall
Pindar obsequiating
        for all Eternity



                                       .    .    .



Rubbing sticks to
gether to cool down
Campfire in the Summer
darkness. Sent to
gather berries maidens
reach for bidden fruit
& come back w/
    husbands for slaves



                                        .    .    .


You can't forge steel
    without a little
    irony

Copper-crusted
  green decay of dollars
Depreciation, currency
manipulation (yellow belt,
                        Kung-Flu)
