TRUMPOLINI v9

TRUMPOLINI

for Peter Bates


Trump spouts
Mussolinian tirades against

breast-milk, blood, urine, sweat, 

spitting proof his pitifully inflated 
T R U M P O V E R S E 
attracts followers
believing he 

splutters
Truths.

JOHN DERECK JEFFERS, Brit.


JOHN DERECK JEFFERS, Brit.


Baring the scraggly broken teeth
of Britain, my Scottish dad, & me,
(hopefully, not my children)

Dereck's barking laugh's Ulster,
sense of humor, Eire, but says
it's not as vicious as Dubliners'.

Schooled at King's Hospital,
then Trinity College, he claims
British, not Irish, nationality,

admiring what 'Mrs.Thatcher' did
'for Britain', he never explains, &
I don't want to hear more about it.

22 NOV 63

The day JFK was assasinated, I was living in a rooming-house on the Charles Circle end of Boston's Beacon Hill.  As I descended from my 3rd-floor room, I heard the loud radio of Reggie, (a waiter who lived on the 2nd-floor), thru his closed door, reporting what had just happened in Dallas TX, thinking: “Now the squabble begins...” assuming Washington D.C. politics was then what it is now, but it proved constitutional: the Vice President took the oath of office; under him (LBJ) the Great Society eventually began...& by 1968, I was working for it as a public information assistant in the Cambridge MA Model Cities program.

living Infant of Prague doll

LIVING INFANT OF PRAGUE DOLL
{footnote to JOY*}

As a Gemini w/ 5 planets in Gemini,
I've rarely experienced/admitted to Joy*
because I complexify happiness;

my parents expected so much of me
once I scared them w/my saintliness
as a living Infant of Prague doll,

I was given duties, but no personal rights.

FAMINE COME ON


in CA

Resisting 
prolonged drought

relentlessly brings
gradual famine pricing,

entertaining us with
advertized&adjusted bargains

today, tomorrow, forever
cyclically, designedly...

MOUNTING GULLS



to Ann Wainwright  (HU17 5NU)

This morning I mounted your 2 gulls above
my barometer-thermometer-humidity-meter
in a north-facing french-window, then

typed this. Daylight illuminates them.

H2O & COUNTING...

in CA

We count our drought in years,
rain in days, need in feet.
When it rained regularly 
we didn't appear to, 
but (of course), we did.
