surviving off the government
government...what a joke

We cross our arms seeking the unexplained comfort we think we know
Leaning back in...

My heart aches with pain,
As I watch you walk hand and hand,
with him, the man who stole you

For that matter
What do you know of me?

I attacked her branches vigorously, 
clipping crossed limbs, suckers and waterspouts
that reach straight to the clouds.

The day, too early for the warmth we'd been getting,
bright, sunny, bee-dazzled.
The bees flitting from pink bud to pink bud,
racing...

To serve you took an 
oath;
To lead in patriotism
And to shun nepotism.
To hold in esteem the 
nation
And give back with 
integrity its ration.

Like a leader being 
called 
To regard his people,
And tend to the cripple.

To the stone rings of Telemador

As a small boy
the barber would sit me
on a wooden bench
placed across the armrests
of his chair. 
Mirrors in front and behind
imprisoned countless copies
of me stretched out 
as far as I could see.
There were no doors

Feathered grand masters of the air,
Winged lords of the sky,
Chieftain's of the heights divides,
Behold the great American Eagle.
Flying rafters grappling at the moon kingdom
Of illusions, shadow stalkers by the night's
Tidal eclipse, do these lunar hunters...
