Iraq City Scene

An Interior Ministry official was dealing with his house,
A box of candy, a suicide bomber, insurgents
A sheikh (recently freed) and four others wounded.

The turbines stopped, plunging the City into darkness.
Amid restrictions and rocket fire, the only power:
cars driving along the darkened streets.

No one will be watching television late into the night
To see if there are any upsets. Political rallies are not allowed;
The most famous candidate has not been seen in public.

-- Carolyn Zukowski

Expensive Mad Order

To impress the waitress at Cassandra's Restaurant
(where desperate protesters are eventually fed),
a crazy man is scoring a point about the difference between

agonizingly dwindling currency transparency
and foundering under the grander divergent turbulence
of a one-money slum government.

The smugly closed stores pull in aspirational civilians,
who looted them to steal some trash before it's chopped up.
He merely borrows the trash, in the trappings of a moral.

First came the fresh winds rising fast
and blowing away voters. By nightfall,
the Supersize-Me Ice Queen melted.

In a race that turns out to be all about climate,
just about every forecaster was wrong -
even after downloads the weather changed.

Enhanced plasma display panel technologies
challenge conventional wisdom and dead certainties:
the season of rebirth in the form of digital files.
