DJT did us one big favor. He made 9-11 almost seem like a bump in the road, and he's the gift that keeps on giving.

we all remember

where we were when they fell

Kennedy too

Dizzy

Powered by a micro-Hole,

The station began to wobble;

Broken loose, the Hole

Swirled spacetime

Like an etheric smoothie,

Jones on her roller skates,

Distal-ring flying,

Wove a drunken pretzel,

While proximal rings spaghettied,

Into the Hole’s black heart.

Still beyond the surface of no return,

She thumbed her suit on,

Took a crazy arc outward,

And cranked her throttles.

The shuttle was right there,

And there oughta be a cool trillion,

In her private numbered account.

Someone burns Saudi oil
Those murderous despots
Their enemies are legion
Yemen, victims of genocide
Israeli or Iranian religious and political opponents
Victims of al qaeda
Domestic terrorists
We know someone did it
Dinosaurs went up in smoke
The world got hotter
Petroleum sellers got richer
(except the Saudis)
Wheels of destruction drone on

091119

it comes round again
a day on which thousands died
the pace of murder quickened
when Hiroshima fell
but we still kill the old-fashioned way
a dozen here, 50 there
even one at a time
if need be

Aid to the Colonies

I

All three girls were over 7 feet tall … it was hard to picture them naked. They had insisted the meeting take place in their habitat, which made him nervous even though it was essential to the plan. He patted his hip–the device was still there.

II

When Global’s agent shuffled in she knew something was wrong. Smelling trouble was Charis’ specialty. He looked her up and down and she shivered--he wasn't here to negotiate the contract. She wiped her hands on her coverall in distaste.

III

Cleone reviewed the security log for Global in her mind. They had tried some pretty weird stuff in the past. However, as far as customs had been able to tell, this agent was clean. But when he looked at her she knew something was wrong. Was he scoping them out for a raid?

IV

Diana was used to men's minds--but this guy was sick. What was that thing about cattle prods anyway?! How could that turn anyone on! And there was something else. Her eyes narrowed as she sifted through his thoughts. He was not really thinking about oral sex; that was covering something else. Something to do with his body. When she caught it she had to stifle her gag reflex.

I

Something was wrong. The chick on the left knew. How? It didn't matter. He tongued the trigger. His hip exploded. The pain was so great he couldn't breathe. The room was dim and canted at a high angle. Shit! Global had lied to him. At least the three frigid bitches were doomed too--they'd already breathed the spores.

III

Cleone started to roll out of her chair a fraction of a second before the Global agent exploded. She wasn't sure what had tipped her off. Partially cooked meat spattered the walls and ceiling. She could see what was left of the guy in the far corner of the room. Diana slumped in her chair, unmoving; Charis was wiping her hands on her ass. "Decon!" she snapped, and bounced up, grabbing the nape of Diana's coverall. She hustled the other two into the lock and the Decon cycle began. The procedure proved to be almost effective.

how many will vote
for murder in church and school
guns for abusers




Most recent mass shooters in this country had abused their families. Abusers shouldn't have guns.

Moving On

from shock and horror
sympathy and worry
to sadness
that somehow our society
 produces so many people
For whom mass murder
is the only way out
of what they are in
and the feeling that
absolutely no one
knows what to do about it

Another American terrorist
Aiming for the weekly prize
House flunked the assault-weapons ban
Who could have foreseen THIS?
How many will die to protect
Our right to slaughter?

It is that date



Not unlike the date on which we found
Billion-year-old ruins on Ceres,
Who broke that world
East of Jupiter and West of Mars?
Was it a fusion flashlight,Like in that Star Trek episode,
roaming from star to star, extinguishing everyone?
Did they do it to themselves?
Like humanity has done,
In our own endearing way,
Time after time after time,
Leaving broken pieces of each other,

Like life wasn't hard enough.

So when we look at the asteroids,
And their stubs of buildings,
Their parks under vacuum and uncaring stars,
Let's learn this one lesson finally,

Folks: don't try this at home.

The assault on the NYC subway grid proved the concept. It forced gothamites to buy locally.
