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

in a marriage of signs and sneezes.

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

The Arctic Sea Ice Saver coupon is to be distributed

Without the coupon, global warming will ensure
the loss of all summertime Arctic sea ice.

Actually, the coupon probably will not make a difference.
But it's designed to draw awareness to the "brand."
What a great marketing deal!

Another Terminator Plot

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?

Peace talks held Derby constantly in terror. President Jordan
—US-backed, the finest of her gender—whipped the daylights

Her office is military; her photographs, immortal.
There she is in Damascus, tearing down a great arch.
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.

He avoided birthday parties,

As if people were recognizable in a television silhouette.

Instead, worried by the strain of simple hours,

his wooden summers wore on a long-hand bench.
You cannot cover your steps, even barely,

But rationality is just a clear bath for the imagination.
