Long Wallets Poems

If I recall correctly
we have about forty thousand households here
where the Connecticut River
conjoins the Mohegan and Iroquois Rivers;
originally deep rich virgin eco-forest 
of and for harmonic rhythm and...

“ANTE BELLUM”


BEIGEBest served where it can’t be seen
On Stirling Silver platters
With redruM narcotics
Delivered by sharp Blood-Red
Well-mannered talons
Strutting in sleek wet rolling tight-skirted
Long French Silk Stockinged legs all the way down to 
Lethal Six Inch stilettos...

What to do,
how respond,
to totalitarian tyranny
in someone else's home
or community
or economy?

OK, good question,
I hope,
yet with ample precedent
in polycultural battles to attain harmonious balance
where we have become monopolistically lost.

What do you do,
how respond,
to monocultural stimuli

the woodlands we loved
for...

With wild and unleashed abandon.

Thanks for the food that disappears tomorrow,
thanks for the poverty and all the sorrow.
Thanks for making my...

And the powers that be infuriate the people,
And the people act with their power,
And they vote with that power, giving some away,
And the ‘Golden Dawn’ is really...
