Brown World Hurting

New research shows
that the prime minister,
a bottom-loving fish face,

might be driving
the eellike chancellor
out of its ancestral home.

A powerful country more like
a capitalist dictatorship.
A number of MPs are unhappy.

Cold Death Ghost

I thought I was going to find beauty
but I was surprised at almost every turn.
I couldn't believe how new it is.

I imagined there would be lots of bicycles
but what I saw was totally state-of-the-art,
urban sprawl in a state of flux,

death a socialist economy
that just goes absolutely everywhere.
A deplorable set of events.

Acts of Hypertension

Betty Ford blinked, lucky her, tears role.
Voting soon began with cardiovascular anticipation.
Counting stoic countdown, marriage, became old.

Moderate physicians officially called mortality old.
Bush in internal confusion changes his filtered role.
Next House hypertensive from regime change anticipation.

Yet men just blitz their emotional stopwatch anticipation,
To risk change, address alcoholic drinks. Cathedral old
Washington diagnosed to end, its service a memorial role.

Enlisted Jacket Home

A 24-year-old spectator.
Short on drive-by karma.
Detroit from the candles up.

He put a makeshift backpack on.
He wanted to corner 2007.
Prime someone for music and pizza.

Revelers log checkpoints at home.
Parachutes hop from hats.
A trance at the 3000th shrine.

Frail Cult Broken

Outside the peninsula's first church,
three surprise assassinations.
Seismic family collapse.

Styled military pomp eclipsed
undercover mourner troves.
Absent bugles, hometown strategists

ordered laboratory discipline.
A toppled blouse earthquaked
history's registered desire.

Submarine Skeletons of Scottsdale

A former heavyweight sailor
in Noida shocking young children
like half-a-dozen news agencies.

The buzzing industrial dry gutter of a Capital,
cocaine-powered, sexually revealed,
suffered a minor domestic discovery.

All skeletons detained
in the sheriff's vehicle, officials said,
were to be freed under supervision.

Fated Sin Emissions

Hatred of
their drastic industries,
hatred of their legal rituals

polluting
the filtered night, stark as
a spiritual malnutrition.

Rhetoric
pilgrim, your animal
climate cleanses the black valley stone.

celebration, but god will use his explosive influence
to make millions. it may seem weird to be popular,
to be greater than most, more profound. over

and again, true men suffer, their cries written over
ulcers, echoes of the underdog, while killings influence
or inhibit bewildered lawyers who want to be popular.

Astronaut Seeking Operations

Redundant astronaut seeking long-term attention
including unique nurses to participate in
somewhat uncommon operations.

Activities conducted with proper care,
but some doctors arrested, incarcerated,
then released and followed.

Only three outcomes possible so far
but none avoid collapsing consolidation.
Few losses, one exception excluded.

Today's Fallen Witness

I woke up this morning to cagey
government forces in a war of words.
These two billionaires baited

cowering civilian officials for talk show
accounts. Their concern was heavy
as Christmas charity. Subsequent BBC

video images: nightclothes peppered
with bloodstains, rumbling tanks convoy
to Haditha, a local explodes.

Global Liver Hurricane

What transplanted family finally
states its daughter--no remedy--
married a future corpse? She’ll bag custody,

share the will. Legal custody,
Dr. Dignity, is not medical, never finalizes
the pressures of that fatal remedy,

that failure of eleventh-hour remedies
for overdoses on Christmas domestics. Custody
rides on real medicine cabinets. That’s final.

Miss Down Process

Sun
dipped bad-girl
mainstreaming dementia chic,

trading
power glam
for soft-core casual.

She's
