A MANUAL FOR TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY SANITY

Wrestling with the ghost of hurricane Gustaf.
Lying with the women of Al Quaida, sleeping
with them. Eating with the tongue of a weak
breeze (that is the dead of the storm, the steak

or pork cutlet of Islam). Wading through wrath
while Israel spills, staining and then keeping
the stain. Drinking cupped from the vengeful creek
of Palestine (and wanting instead the numb cake).

Keeping to the untrained or billowed path.
Keeping to the summer's edge, and then keeping
to the flowerbed. Keeping to the blurs, the streaks
on my window, pain. Cleaving to the flesh of my mate.
