Of Super Importance

Great Leader has marvelous merengue
[us] to be his paso doble
watch [us] swish [us] salsa hips
see [us] mambo shoulder rolls
slide against [us] in samba
sweat [us] through heated rumba
dip [us] in torrid tango
break [us] into bolero
lambada ‘til [us] thoroughly wrecked

Eternal Resistance

Breathe deep
Release / Relax / Rest
Tap into evergreen
Husband asleep alongside

Let tenderness flow
To Self To Partner To
Barky dog next door To
First-floor bros high-fiving

Streets So Clean [us] Squeak

Could barbershop quartet in them
Sporting matching striped vests, straw hats
Harmonize sentimental grins
Streets sanitized until shine glares

[us] draw curtains tighter

block out the blinding
bouncing off emptied surfaces
no obstacles remain
to diffuse its blow

Hunger Haunts Gaza On Freedom Fourth

[us] Grandpa and Grandma baked cookies
dotted in melted candies
some reds, some whites, some blues

[us] Husband smoked butts for pulled porks
flavored in his secret sauce
some plain for [us] who hate spicy

To Save The Bleating Baby Deer Wobbling Into The Road Alone On A Dark Night

You’re the kind of cis white man who waved down a speeding car. Stopped by your arms stretching up/out. Braked by your determination that nothing would be killed.

Becoming BFFs

[us] will book a week at your chic casino
you will place your gold-leaf statue on display
[us] will pose and post to your account

[us] will buy into your crypto currency
you will Fed Ex [us] tickets to tour your house
[us] will covet all your gold-plating

International Travel At No Cost To You

If [us] feed you, [us] books won’t balance
Honduras is providing free meals
[us] fly you there directly nonstop

Your medical bills busted [us] bank
El Salvador has many doctors
[us] reserve an appointment for you

Let’s Make Me Richer And More Powerful, Deal?

I’m handsome / wealthy / white

I’m married / fertile / white
give me all your land

I’m straight / virile / white
give me all your options

I’m healthy / able / white
give me all your contracts

Terrific Tariffs

you’re talking smack about me
I punish you with tariff

give me side eye?
I see your tariff and raise it

scoff behind my back?
I bump up your tariff

mock my hairdo?
I sue you in tariff

print lies about me?
I double down your tariff

scorn my smarts?
I smother you in tariff

Sold Down The River

foamy blobs cover water
“Beaver Vomit” the kayakers call it
part decaying leaves
part agitated oxygen
part farm fertilizers
like egg whites beaten stiff then browned to meringue

Nordic Aspirations

Great Leader wants [us] to own more fjords
[us] is sorely lacking in fjords
but with this acquisition [us] would be fjord rich
would become number one owner of fjords
By every measure of greatness
[us] would be fjord historic

He Shall Separate The MENS From The WOMENS

here, only GIRLS hands shall rub together

Laws of limitations are Other-People problems

My monitor is blipless
straight across the screen left to right
neither deviations nor curves

Not Me is two paddles
one clear word
charging through my nerves

Battery briefly 100%
quick power drain
juiced by the next jolt

Not Me is the god who shows up when i pray

I am a leaky bike tire slowing losing air
Not Me applies a patch
pumps to optimum psi
gets me a little farther down the road
until the next fix

I am a pretzel twist
heavily salted
baked to break

Not Me is a cheese souffle
airy, spacious, light
made to be savored

I am socked in
SAD on the shortest day of the year

Not Me is a one-hour puddle jumper
flight above the clouds

I am frantic panic scanning exits
despairing to spot the safest way out
Not Me is the hug holding me intact
