Black Sky Infinity

                                                                        mister president the latest figures remain concerning
q-e vacuumed to the black sky infinity
our trade deficit hollowing out and deepening
unemployment rolls accompanying
these inverted curves certainly are hurting and yes sir
very challenging militarily economically strategically..

..and tactically general but we must not lose our nerve
so offer me good news so i may face them down with great news
this crisis stretch must be recognised less for doing terrible things
reframing the reality they are living in is now essential
general as you know and understand this is beyond party political
an inverted commas election this year tells me at least one ignoble fix is in..

and still as your commander in chief please pursue reasons to be happy
this black swan hatched and side-swiped us into this big mess
and although stocks are soaring as well they might be
for i have donated trillions more free to our corporations so recently
i know bush then obama took this crisis-opportunity for buy-backs previously
fingers-crossed my way would re-shore jobs instead so third time catastrophe-lucky..

sir dot-connecting we are assured our insiders are refining those optics
with that elliptically in mind we worked on a bold proposal for your signature
no need to do anything or weigh up troubling questions or actions
the history books already penned no references to the shredded papers sealed
the control files already opened or torched or shielded depending
the controlled opposition factotums turning distraction spits splendidly..

general i noted that and please convey our special thanks
i recall those many unspoken conversations long ago prepping with roy cohn
certain vaults must remain locked for others to remain bless-kissed open
though i must ask will there be a lot of death
the crisis actor thing works almost as well
i love my family israel america..

your family should be safe mister president
sign here and here and here sir
and we will apprise you of all slated developments
we can say this next stage is rapidly unfolding fairly left-field
and our nsa friends are hacking us as enemies
and the below the basement explosions have already begun..

okay general that will be all
giddily i will play golf drably while you rock and roll
beneath the zephyr susurrations of the palm trees
i will gaze at the lithe guests at mar-a-lago
some of them already realise and if not they soon will
our shadows are our snipers caught in this blackout web of victory..

Mock Mockingbirds

satire on the bbc
what can that be
what beef stings their bees
how can satire be on the bbc
means..

bee-bees seam
circle jerk echo chambers
hollow laughter tracks to minds marshal
what joke..

bees vet satirists
licence to puppetry..
slice strings
mesmerise them..

Exulansis

if words are only words
is there poetry..
