Genome Reform Anticipated

Virtues
And weaknesses.
Take my pulse.

Clinically,
Disease takes
Us all hostage.

Breathe
Great calm.
Tastes of cancer.

So Clouds Died

One militant led raging
resembles the diameter of war
that pole typically least concentric

Departure confirmed defeat
while at times the rest detected
another human defense

The spent majority in position
Incumbent hands swirling celebrating
Clockwise Americans claimed final images

PS3 Entices Rumsfeld

But how? W’s successors
spoke the language of joysticks?
Shoot and ride. Real “sophisticated.”

And why? Internet gamers
watch extreme footage of the war?
Duck and cover. How “global.”

Now what? The long-faced Queen
adopts the teens of Iraq?
Stick and move. So "wicked."

Cooperation Offers Gays

Herded rabbis work elections.
Newly shrewd lesbians
cut off top, disturbing the peace.

Oval Office cooperation reaching
ascendant same-sex mounts.
Agreement called “folding

government campaign.”
Religious extremist attacks
booked. Suffering promised.

Typical G-8 Human

Seasonal beings, toothy scavengers.
We consumed more miles yesterday
than the richest far environments.

One billion farmers on chemical plains,
extinction diet. What red-eyed children
can adapt to the killing water?

Hurricane this Earth! Storm the rainfall
clean. What colossal intervention,
what impossible fruit.

Slated Ceasefire Lethal

A titled procession of icon mourners
crowd the Strip. Thousands on funeral film:
"Death to Israel! Death to America!"

Cameo: a family singer shouting
the artillery of heaven, revenge
prayers executed for God.

Injection of dead reality shooting
through Houston homes while Texas
officials version appeals on high.

Lucky Blue Majority

Today comeback campaigns
massacred the House.
People shelled the war.

Klan-Free Vista

Another firebombing.
Carloads of shopkeepers,
gasoline, and white law.

Mercury quartet,
play the black
shotguns of 1967.

Mr. Coltrane, let’s escape
imperial orbit. The music
is Earth’s deep lungs.

Aging Junk-Food Dream

No magic backlash.
No high-fat gasoline.
No radio bombs.

Our diet potion prolongs
liver-spotted police.
Fatty transgenic hypocretins.

Drink our chow. It firecrackers
neurons, you primates,
you protein ghosts.

Shrinking Church King

A mid-century post-Baptist,
I shuddered in my reversible
marriage--sex torrid as worms.

My fishy public smile.
My ballot data arrays.
My meta-message.

O master, O nemesis,
O secret marine--we
are fated to collapse.

Sex From Overfishing

Aggressive news nationwide:

In 2048, New Life Church notes,
sex overseers catch total collapse.
Local spiritual economists discuss,

seek press conference
or administrative leave.
“Remove code-named seafood!”

Happy Primate Blockade

They’re after ape language again.
And subversive self-awareness
in crocodile seniors.

They’re facing uprisings
in the finger-wagging streets,
their trademark wilderness.

Navy dolphins circle the Bronx
like ultra-right militias,
bespectacled, bald as mirrors.
