Imagine, we are the ones: 

not Tom Hayden, not 

Bertrand Russell, not 

Hannah Arendt, not 

Susan Sontag, not 

Yevtushenko, US 

We are the ones 

who get to watch 

and feel and wander 

straight-faced directly 

into the once supposed 

and now very real

 

Orwell reality — 

Here it is 

Most people 

can’t come to terms 

with the is of is

It’s no more than this:

 

people being crushed 

the innocent being 

shot right in the face 

and the response is 

from born idiots 

who are also in

 

full domination of 

all the laws 

(except consciousness) 

and they are going to

say, (surprise, surprise) 

“2 + 2 = 5” 

There’s no God 

There’s no Godot

There’s no Government

There was someone named Good

There is only us 

The wonderful us

Democracy

Democracy is when your phone rings

and you pick up the receiver

with nobody on the other side.

Democracy is when the entire skyscraper cannot sleep

because of a hungry dog barking beneath the window,

locked in a cage by his owner.

Democracy is when you call

the SPCA

as you can no longer

listen to the desperate dog,

and they tell you

there's nothing they can do —

once the laws are adopted . . .

once it becomes legal . . .

we'll bark too.

Democracy is when somebody

previously poor

remains poor in the future.

The Seeker

Drunk from the bus,

terrorized from thinking.

How does the snow smell?

How do you dream?

The Samurai

I'm pierced through.

With the last year's swallows

still flying through me.

Snow

Believe in snow

and cut yourself up

to make it sting

when it falls.

Russians

Russians never

run away.

It's too far.

~

Born before my mother,

I'd be free

~

Give me your hand,

I've taken your heart.

~

The rhythm sleeps on the tracks.

~

The silence of a hand

having found itself

in another one.
