John Walker Lindh

Did what every CIA agent
in the country was trying to do
but he’s getting 20
yrs. in jail

instead of a Congressional
Medal
of
             Honor.

It’s
considered dishonorable
for him to train to kill but
it is honorable for young American

boys to learn to
“blow the brains out of
every fuckin’ Muslim

in
      the
                      Universe”


At
least according to the
ex – army employee taxi-driver

Florida
is the State that did it
The suffering of Samsara is all - pervasive
even
      for
                        Floridians

"Bush knew the White House wld. be attacked.
He was paying for it"


All this ‘Florida Sun’

but

in the Alt.
on Avenue A in NYC
people are still saying things
like
            that.

BLUEBIRD


Now
that I turned into
a Sanskrit letter & felt
yr. heart in my heart on the
corner of 103th str.
                                 &
                                                          Broadway,

Now
that I dream of you
as a giant blue-bird made

by children, as I glance into a
mirror & slip trees fr. my white ass,
placing them w. care in a
tin-can for umbrellas, O
                                              lost
                                                             loves,

Bathing together, flying even,
I uncross my lotus legs
& am released
                          in
                                         space,

This
morning’s winter fire comforts
as I search for you in Roman Cards
& no one, not even I, can
