::: Smith Tower :::

In miniature and stuffed
With sinus bone,
They blow. Nothing drains
In the State of Rhodes.
Flooding in secret
Without leaving the canal,
The range of damage
Leaves no offense.
Everything is done
In miniature.
Conquest leaves the retaliation
Baffled and slow.

Chicken Island and the sparkler
Plugs an auto parts display.
The dry corner is custom parked.
Mastercharge is wide in columns
To announce the opening of a bridge
Or a headlock.

Kodak Mikado.

This is Seattle.
Levitated fixtures.
Magic carpet holocaust.
Service the depot
Before the hallowed engines
Are corrected.

Panther nations
Register this community a third delegation.
Allocate domestic barriers
To keep out Ethiopian conspiracies.

Violate policy.
Liberate Mama Love.
Seize the political firearms of elimination.
Black riders in hollow-point revolution.
Denounce surveillance
And cock silent liberty.
F*ck the testimonies of eunuch police
And give the mad bomber his common rights!!!
