Merger

Editorials have not been coming of late, by choice, not lack of subjects or opinions.  I've been slowly working on a few new stories and projects, but do not typically use this site for that type of stuff.  Since it has been three months since I've updated this, I've dug out an old piece from grad school.  I also updated the recent reads section. 

Merger

Wage war
risk turning soil over bone
covering white with brown

Promote approval—prompt the teleprompter to
go after the all encompassing evil

Helicopters like bats in the sun
de plane, de plane,
but this is no laughing matter………
                    of fact his daddy’s boss’ wife waged her first
                    and it wasn’t “just say go”

Just         Say         Go
Would’ve worked well back when Minh as in Chi and Ho panther prowled
his land

        JUST GO
perhaps followed by an

        OR ELSE
and concluded with
       
        GET GONE
        FOR GOOD
                        or until Jimmy and I’m not talking Dean as
in sausage nor speaking Dean as in James, but Carter, like Clarence singing “Stroke it”

His sign read
             ENTER
            and not followed by at your own risk

                The men now lined up
                rows spanning the Ambassador
                traffic lanes filled

   

    At one point these too were our enemies

    enemies of the state………faceless enemies
    objects as enemies
             thoughts as enemies
             just sitting stuffing American faces with chocolate covered hot dogs
            waiting for our next enemy
                  waiting for our next wager.
