she was a fake and he found out
\nnow she lives in the nightmare of her dreams
\nnightmares of always lost
\nshe buys a ticket to Washington, D.C
\nbut “they” fly her to Norfolk, West Virginia
\nnor folk or foe only the endless halls
\nand elevators and mindless masses passing
\nshe realizes “they” have tricked her, and,
\nmore important, it’s a rerun
\nher hands cover her face in deepest desolation but
\nthere’s always one angel this one
\na female, a frump, dishwater blond, a middle aged,
\ntouching her right shoulder
\nshe awakens in disgust
\nof dream robbers.
\n8 a.m. Moonday morning in Tokyo
\nfive years is a very long time
\nPentagon’s birthday: 11 September 1941
\nPentagon’s grutting: 11 September 2001
\n60 years and now plus five
\nold enough to retire old enough to crack
\ndoublespeak:
\nIraqis killilled Iranians
\nwe will kill Iraqis and then Iranians
\nwhen you come into my garden enter as a fool might
\na child of wonder child of awe
\nchild of everlasting curiosity
\nreligiosity – check at the door
\nwe all have tales to sleep and
\nwe all have tales to weep and
\nnow is a good time to be Mr.
