Disorder
Gunshots echo again
as we huddle on the floor
hoping the street battle
will be over soon
before bullets penetrate
the walls of our apartment
in public housing.
Almost every night now
shooting starts after dark
so we don’t dar...

Shelter
I don’t like living here.
There’s no heat in winter.
It’s sweaty hot in summer.
None of the people are nice.
This one guy wants to sex me.
I told him I was only twelve
but that didn’t matter to him.
He keep try...

Coincidence?
We survived the Cold War,
though a few times
obliteration murmured

by outspending the big, bad, bear.
Yet ongoing threats

Dumbing Down

Sixty-nine tears dropping from only one eye:
sixty-nine tears and the sound of a heart splitting in two.
In some corner of the gloomy large room, a soul breaking free.
Happiness, sadness, all that stuff doesn't matter anymore;
only the feeling of freedom matters,
only the feeling...

Unfair
A child asked me:
“Why do some people have so much

I considered explanations,
greed, capitalism,
inherited wealth,

The monkey's praying, the baby is asleep and the monk goes on a trip.
Grandma's shouting, playing free, under a palm tree.
A lot of elephants behind me, speeding for a cup of tea.
Yellow circles on the ground, someone gets the black cat bound.
A mad woman barks like a dog, whil...

To western sites I retreat, so dark and so deep.
In a winter palace my soul bleeds, in a battle field my body splits.
To eastern sites I retreat, so dark and so deep.
Distant ghosts echoes my voice, heavy machines run with big noises.
To southern sites I retreat, so dark and so deep.

Political Sketch
Too many of us

so self-righteous
we don’t care if our country

Crazy horses for the dead boys, wild horses for the still boys;

Fast cars for the dead boys, loaded guns for the still boys;

You cannot imagine how much I dislike the Treasury and banks. They have ruined many people's lives, because they show no mercy to anyone. They can leave you homeless, just because you have lost your job, and cannot pay the money that they ask for. It is no use telling them that you need more tim...

No sad light inside this golden eye. No long finger pointing to the end of nothing.

White clouds like cotton sealing the landscape, and at the mountain top,
a woman scream...
