Prolific painter Childe Hassam
foremost impressionist of 'Uncle Sam'
Flags also his motif
his patriotics were a regular brief
history repeats...
and too
oldt t.v. episodes
such as...
outer limits that
echo pass't
childhood rhymes...
of early
atomic era times
when...
patriotism was not
simply an
'us against them' butt...
was assss
'me-rear-roars
doomsday!...
a ninety second timer
to thee midnight
when all goes away!!!'...
today
the news cast said
that clock...
is still plugged into
sui-cyborgs
leaders programmed to preach...
christ's-tea and a tee
talk tee toc
stan's sand
