Trying To Be Like Dick Cheney
~~~
I was
(another
enthralling episode
begins)
~
I was
(we’re all on the edge
of our
theatre seats)
~
I was doing
Sunday
morning
chores
~
Three plugged toilets
freed
& burnished clean
& still mopping
~
Dick Cheney's old heart
~
A dancing work horse
tied to a
pyramid
brick
~
A battalion of queasy soldiers
swallowing
ammo &
spitting bullets
~
A horse fly
smacking
& cracking
the front-room window
~
Dick Cheney's new heart
~
I was
trying
to be
like Dick Cheney
~
One
American
top dog
go getter
~
When the mission manager
declared
“That’s enough ~ don’t
do anymore ~ you’re done”
~
& I thank
Jesus
I am not
Dick Cheney…
