Poetry from W to Z

the wall

we don't need
no leftist nation
we don't need
no thought control

no gender doubting
in the classroom

teacher, leave
them kids alone
hey! teacher! leave
them kids alone!
​
all in all, it's just
another joke on the wall
all in all, you're just
another woke in the hall
​walt disney

disney kingdom
barque of ra
sails among
river beasts
pirate demons

animal gods
surrender stage to
animal goofs
mouse dog duck

white europe
pyramid
matterhorn
weasel

dream fight with
weasel costanza
knock to floor
foot on his face

kneel before him
beg forgiveness
he my only friend
george shrugs

should not beat up
my insecure self

costanza on talk show
joking about toupee
takes it off
then another
now bald

my mother
in fur coat kisses
his bare head

show weakness
and vulnerability
earn blessing
of mother goddess
whale

i identify as whale
my pronoun is ale
drill a hole in my head
i need to exhale

get me to the sea
let me blow hard
let me blow free
i gotta be me
xians

marvel x-men
tired franchise
yields to xians

followers of
superhero
turns water into wine
heals the sick
controls the weather

xians defy death
ascend to the
h-dimension

enemy of gaze
and needles
who claim
pleasure and death
create angels
yeats
​

praise ye yeats
the second coming
is spot on

the falcon cannot
hear the falconer
no leash on my power

things fell apart
the centre party
could not hold
against hitler

the best lack all
conviction while
proud boys and
antifa are full of
passionate intensity

a waste of desert sand
saddam hussein
lion body head of man
about him shadows
of american jets

my hour come round
i slouch toward
bethlehem
ready to be born
zombie

eat my brains
share my vision
become dead
to lies of the world

break through
the windows
break through
the doors
break on through
to the other side
