Farce

The plot

Thickened by far
Fetched remnants of earth

Like creatures
Jettisoned

In space, the absence
Of gravity continues

To play a major role.

Have You Seen This Man?


















Last seen in the early 1970s in Seattle, Washington wearing his prophetic Bin Laden disguise. As evidenced by the blue button on the lapel of his flamboyant, red revolutionary shirt, fervent McGovern backer during the 1972 Presidential Elections won in a landslide by Tricky Dicker-Boom Nixon. Left the US in late 1972, deeply disillusioned by Reader’s Digest and no longer able to stomach the likes of that other crook, Spiro Anagnostopoulos aka Agnew, whose frenzied vocabulary was famous for alliterative phrases that sent the hair of effete, hirsute, intellectual snobs into frazzled curlicues.


Any information leading to the arrest of this dangerous malfeasant will be held in the strictest confidence and the rat rewarded with enough blue cheese to keep him/her over the moon until it turns into mozzarella.

First Things First

In poetry one should not wait
Until one knows what one believes.
--Carl Rakosi

1.

If one does not, one will not
Know where to begin.

2.

Any questions?

3.

If not, you may proceed.

Frank Farewell

Aye,

Blunt you were indeed—
In the blink of an eye,

A blade-wielding tongue
That cut deep, a rogue

In dire straits we
So sorely needed.
