animated corpse
like a scene from the last circus
revenge is taken
political mercenaries
party affiliation…
justification
for ignoring moral laws
and one’s solemn pledge
new market opportunity…
hovering
over
a hand painted sign
hawking
hostile oceanic items
hand whip stingray tails
guaranteed
to
vanquish
blood sucking vampires
thus
freeing
the land
from
such beastly pestilence
stood
the brown bag prophet
when
i
questioned
the
marketability
and
need
for
such items
the prophet
replied
that
the whips
were well received
in
the philippines
and
have had a strong demand
in
washington
these days
since
the price
was right
i
got one
and
several
premixed
spice packets
loose bits of life#19…
military type
quite gung-ho
funerals on friday
this could be the start of something big…
the brown bag prophet
was sitting
at a park table
holding
some graph paper
and
several pens
he said
if you sum
the absolute difference
of
each
previous
white house
staffer
and
divide the sum
by the number
of
suspected crimes
minus one
that’s
for
the crimes
yet
to be revealed
we come up
with
a moving range
now
noted
that
a certain
politician’s name
has been removed
from
a panama hotel
perhaps
if we’re
lucky
we’re seeing
name removal
becoming
a trend
and
we’ll
have to reset
our national count
to
44
introducing…
jackie’s
a lady
of
the night
she’s
originally from detroit
but
now
resides
just around the corner
from
the brown bag prophet
she’s not
particularly attractive
but
available
for
those
seeking her services
always
dressed
to
avoid the attention
of
the police
but
appropriately
for
keen-eyed clients
she
arrives
at her work site
just
as
i’m leave work
offering
without shyness
her
opinions
regarding an array
of
issues
tonight
jackie
said
i work
hard
for my money
but
those
prostitutes in washington
just
open their mouths
for
the money
and
then
do it
to
the country
presidential promise…
stock market profits
wrenched from society’s womb
mining blood diamonds
