as Dan Cooper, anonymous businessman,  anarchist airborne, 
black suit, black sunglasses, a black tie
and a black briefcase broaching black motives,
Portland to Seattle, prison or criminal pantheon, 
before...

Truly those days were fun,
Little children playing each,
With a fine decorated toy gun,
Life was serious yet catchy;
And we were easily convinced
‘ Sit back, I will buy you Akara’,
Was enough to pacify and evinced.

I can still...

Turning it over and over.

Up on its attention antennae, sealed in clover.

Where was I?
unusual.
behind 
the dizzying looking glass,
cement block,
panelled windows,
noonish saloons 
sipping my loathing 
like mosquitoes 
milking stone veins 

constipated. 

contemplating pretty suspects 
and their banditry of spotlight and shadows;
cute fashions with their dreamboat accessories. 

Snatched...

Tell them we are working hard
They will soon afford to buy rice
Show them our graphic evidence
Of rice pyramids. We are self-sufficient.

Say ‘Yes’ to infantry
Not to Banditry:
To a nation-shepherding troop,
Not to a wealth-chasing group
From shattered homes
Or discontented domes.
A mass approach to violent robbery
By haters of stories that targets were slippery,
Enacting scenes unspeakably horrible
Just to make annoying...

We 
SHOUTED
and 
we 
got 
busted

We 
WHISPERED
and 
we 
were 
tortured

We 
casted 
our 
voice 
on 
paper
but 
it 
had 
no 
reader,
it 
was 
nullified...

Question 
it 
and 
you'll 
get 
charged
either

or

that 
you 
rot 
in 
jail
and
