never means to spend money like water
While the wife of a poor country’s president
was outside at a shop that sells luxury items,
the shop window broke and cut her purse
and tons of bloody dollars slide out like a rocket

EARLY MASS IN ORDINARY TIME
Gray helmet hair, carefully
Curled, dangling earrings,
Designer suit, ear of salamander,
Eye of newt. White haired
Soulmate, shoulders strong,
More is More, importance seen
In every pore: Respectability
highly prized, but my Sunday
Plea to The Powers That Be:
Deliver Me from Respectable,
so unacceptable.

Let is flow like runny honey your sweet creativity,
Let is shine all sublime your original artistry.
For you have your place with such grace and respectability,
Do your thing so it may bring you peace and sheer stability.

A brave believing victim of the Shoah said, 'God slept'.
Is it not true that God and Humanity were allies as the
United Nations Forces defeating Fascism - for ever?
Only the other day out of respectability I heard an anti-
Semitic remark. Alas, this old evil is not yet dead and buried.
