"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.
...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

I.
Everyone is beautiful
in the right light
dancing reverently
in deepest night.
Hands stretched out to god,
pagan idol that he be,
holding sway with his
riotous, elusive sexuality.
Crystal beams piercing
cut-out seaweed fray
The children gathered close
to keep reality at bay.
II.
An airplane
Flies high, a straight line.
Lost, little girl,
follow it home.
The stars won’t tell you where you are.
Get lost in the gridlines
alleyway or avenue;
Direction deserts you,
Orientation misaligned.
In your purse, maple syrup
nicked from someone else’s lunch
will keep you from being hungry tonight
warm and sticky-sweet
you pretend it’s honey
and that you’re home
licking it off your lover’s face.
And she wanders lost and aimless
no place to go
except forwards and forwards
and maybe someday she’ll end up somewhere
but she’s been passing the same
seven buildings
all her life.
III.
I was born
and raised
unknown.
The blood
told me
where to go.
and if
I disobeyed
it would jump
out of my veins
and end up
all over
the road.
Following
that sway
I ended up
San Fran Bay
The place where
My father
Did roam.
[though I wouldn’t know that for many a year, trust me here; it will all become clear]
