The Slight Light of the Moon
David J Walker
Everyone is in
Everyone is done
Everyone
under the sun
is in the same boat
It’s a big boat
It’s a tugboat
It’s a lifeboat
That won’t float
On Solipsism’s alone
It’s an
Oceanliner the color of
October with a canoe
And an outboard motorboat
Lost on an ocean stretching
As far across the Milky Way as
The naked eye …
Oh say, can you see, anything
Beyond vituperate inflictions
Fired from the big guns
From the map of a compendiums instructions
The first-rate illustrations are
Lost in Space and Time
The Big Boat is mine
The small boat is fine
But it’s yours
Everyone on the dreamboat
Will slowly float
Into the slight light of
The moon

Deplorables and Excoriables
Are many people who are excoriables,
We did discover are really deplorables;
Now exist,
And persist;
Find to be foes that are formidable.

The Malay Pantun: The Non-Party Communal Triumvirate
Ursidae carnivora hug and hibernate
Hypolais polyglottes trill without triumph
Alliance Party* wins and vituperate
Opposition parties coagulate without lymph
• The ruling Malaysian communal triumvirate –
since Independence in 1957.

In fluent argot like a profound inchoate
Chthonic patronizing blood paroxysmally folds in curdles
You illuminate none but yourself with a pleasant scapegrace idiocy
Dishevelled and voluble in dark ages of medieval filth
Legerdemain to my vituperate wills and wanders
Anything in purge of the death of proclivity, namely yours
Crepuscular black skies, fugacious and oneiric...you dissolve them

Armageddon approaches as
Bombastic
Charismatic characters'
Daring-do
Enlarges evil's
Fissure
Grown too
Huge horror of
Islamic
Jewish and Christian
Knockout
Linking
Menacing multiple
Nukes
Onto an ancient
Prophecy as
Quieter heads
Reasonably
Seeking solutions are
Turned
Upon by
Vituperate voices
Wailing war who wait
Xpectantly for
Young
Zealots to enflame the world.
