Parallel Poems

Poem Sequences

Written on 07 October 2017.

Lamentation

doublespeak
all could be ill
or well

 

self-imaged
Atlas shrugs off
a fountainhead

 

on an orange ass
"the masters of mankind"
trumpet their anthem

 

behind the ass
crying "look at me, look at me",
"destroy destroy destroy"

 

pre-emptive strike
against the earth
and their other
