Long Issued Poems

It's peaceful here in my backyard.
The crows sound happy

Death is always inconvenient,
even when invited.

A veteran,

I'd like to apply for a permit
for a protest march
on the Washington Mall.

a parachute pilgrim approaches Northwest Flight 305
as Dan Cooper, anonymous businessman,  anarchist airborne,
