These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v. Them years, Wrecking all things virtuous and true.

It’s not that she walked awayHer world got smallerAll the usual placesThe same destinationsOnly something’s changed. It’s not that she wasn’t rewardedWith pomegranate afternoonsAnd Mingus, Chet Baker and chessIt’s not stampede and fortuneOf prim affectationsShe’s off on a riot(?)And she knows nowIs greater than the wholeOf the pastIs greater and […]

A thumbnail sketch, a jeweller’s stone A mean idea to call my own Old man don’t lay so still you’re not yet young There’s time to teach, point to point, Point observation, children carry reservations Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold. A mean idea […]
