SENDERO

Last years lives lie in state but there’s no damage assessment from this far

away this is not another proxy war no this is something different & somehow

worse and this is not another revolutionary joke tailored for your armband

jargon & your armchair support because now this side’s gone to pieces and

this side’s fallen apart and in between there’s all the human beings wearing

their own brains and soaked in blood this is your clenched fist this is your

shining path self destruct.

MY FAVORITE HOUSING PROJECT

I’d have to say my favorite housing project is the one where my grandmother

died I’d have to say my favorite housing project is the one between the river

and the highway live and die live and die start to die in a human warehouse.

THIS TRASH SHOULD’VE BEEN FREE

This trash should’ve been free, take the bus to the city run while you fucking

can This trash should’ve been free, break the monotony of falling into rank

in parking lots This trash should’ve been free, you don’t have to serve god &

country or eat the things they’ve forced on me This trash will never be free

you flickered out and died far away in a place where they’ll take your life on

credit trash free this trash is just a memory that’s nursed like stolen

whiskey and though you’re still alive I know you’ll choke and suffocate.

FOOTBOUND & HOBBLED

The day is coming when doctors will clip off thumbs the same way they snip off

little boys’ foreskins the day is coming when hospitals will be obliged to

douse newborn eyes with lye the day is coming when all tongues are sheared to

spare this nation the vicious slander of a few bad apples and we will all

march towards tomorrow footbound & hobbled.

ALIVE WITH PLEASURE

The Marlboro Man’s Dead and so are all his cowboys their propoganda killed my

motehr preyed on force of habit te Marlboro Man is dead and so are all his

cowboys their propoganda killed my mother addicted her to the soot Alive with

pleasure eager to purchase alive with pleasure happy to smolder She exhaled

pain I inhaled decay no iron lung can cut a tumor the size of a fist from

your throat Rotten black lung and family hands it down a learned destruction

the ashes please me to a sickness.

MARY & CHILD

Once again the battle field is your body and those who want control have laid

down their terms in black & white and red all over they keep the backstreet

butchers in business as advertised from a bullhorn and the all knowing man

has set up his make-believe graveyard with tiny white crosses for millions of

make-believe souls someday I’d like to see a cross set up for a real live

human being who bled to death to maintain the sanctity of mary mary & child

scream the bigots who couldn’t care less about human life obey their self-

righteous lies while your sisters & daughters die all decisions are final your

body is forbidden.

THE GOOD FATHER

The American Dream the good father wants to paddle it one way democracy it’s

our gift to the savage the good father the holy saviour rests one hand on a

smaller neighbour and we’re nowhere close to getting what we need Father knows

best we’re going to kill you bulldozed with dollar bills paving over the

bloody mash so much light to spread while the gore’s still fresh we own the

government the crops the land your hearts and minds see the system works the

dead just don’t know it yet father knows best we’re going to own you the good

father stands tall waiting to embrace his smallest child and if you act fast

we promise you won’t feel the pain.
