A Notion Missed

Today is the summit against slogans.
From Venezuela to Tuvalu, supporters sprang to the fight.
Shattered windshields were blanketed

with green banners molded from living plants.
But the tiny frosted ribbons between living and signifying,
saddled with their idealized witnesses,

are tried and cut by the steady forces of craft and myth,
their frozen emitters flooded with the chaos of compromise.
Time for lunch.

The handwritten scale of the biggest action,
covering your building and washing your walls,
hoping to block the streets of irony,

to call or keep that hoping canyon

Meanwhile in 10,000 streets, fans waiting to be waved,
the long springs triggered from palm to hands;
people will be patient eventually.

Actually, the coupon probably will not make a difference.

Robots at phony war. Relentless as a Schwarzenegger sequel.
You can’t kill those off—the movies, that is—their explosive
mixture of missiles and working-class novelty. Entertaining,

innovative destruction innocuous as a family conspiracy
on loan from a Stiller flick. The formula (for the robots’
holy war, that is): tough-minded men plotting to bomb

New York, to launch the United States’ salvation
on the Hudson River. It’s old hat, but this new take is
Terminator to death. And the paradox: what if we lose?

That week she told New Nation the purpose abuse serves:

Geldings did something the Nobel Peace Prize never did.
In every war, some torture is ceremonial.
What a gal! that Jordan. Our enemies abide.

his wooden summers wore on a long-hand bench.

The fireball that streaked across the sky shined unflattering light
seemed to involve an artificial satellite coming down.

It's Slipped Instead

Often misdiagnosed, that mash of music cues
which carries faces, which seems to smile for cameras
and probably smiled for psychologists as well.

The unbowed, unspoken, and nonmusical weeks,
cluttered in downtown's ear, flow quickly as a corollary
to the great marketplace, which makes up names.

If you react to disparate forms of etiquette as a threat,
a tender person with a worse streak than many see
may have a better ability to brave lymphatic depression.

Leading disease specialists in the Vatican made

adoption influenza. "It took a matter of minutes

for New Jersey Bishop R. W. to be only minutes
from hopping on the pope's bandwagon, a service made
only for

friends and family," Dr. N. C. told whomever Wednesday. "For
the bishop to get complacent about the service minutes
after a Vatican aides* meeting—-a decision had to be made."

Swearing Injuries Possible

Sure, it's possible, the research suggests (more or less),
for E. and O. to have swearing injuries. "These fractures
of the brain have mysterious patterns," a spokeswoman

says. "One overnight observation confirmed that women
airplane passengers suffered the violence 20% more
than the 'Lost' stars or Edward Kennedy. Fractures

of the cheekbones and eye sockets released more fractures
under the brain, events that tend to cause swearing." Women
