hmm  Dinah-Moe Humm

yup  --  thats just what the doctor ordered

And he knew it
because he was taking lots of orders from doctors these days

Dinah-Moe was prescribed as an antiallergenic
an antidote and brilliant red iodine for September 11 itches

as was Montana
though not that the state would ever agree

the doctor ordered them taken back-to-back            
                                                                           Dinah-Moe   and Montana
as surly backfires lit
to try and stymie the encouraged flames          already thirteen years old 
which were likely to burn on and on in the minds of people 
who didnt know any better
and distilled in those other minds who did  but just cant seem to let go
and thereby allow it
to infect the little childrens heads with what the good books said


Zappa was his bootstraps and fresh shoe leather to patch or replace the soles
worn out
the booze to strip away the hoarseness of voices who cried aloud
whose embittered rage and words fell inert
in likely dumb or deaf ears
                                                                                                      
they were unable to quell the Rage and the stoked surfeit fear
that was harvested
and spun wound and woven into cloaks and hoods and blindfolds too eagerly taken up
or all the sharp lies
their tines and needle points piercing
penetrating
betraying the sacred Trust
twisting
and turning the pliant cogs of sense  into nonsense

yah  Zappa was dead
but because he kept playing his songs 
Zappas efforts helped him try and erase the war bluster
stir the tie-dye for jumpsuits worn by Guantanamo detainees
and try to keep dirty fingernails from scratching at the scab so the wound might finally heal

to become a scar of simple remembrance
than a bleeding Clarion regurgitated year after year

after year

11.9.14



She had had it up to her eyeballs with the BS
the fibrous bulk
and turd
of what the American public was willing to swallow in remarkable  copious draughts

she listened to President Obama
heard another of his unfortunate missteps
How does one  usually so articulate  step on his words
 
she was willing to concede  perhaps  he was troubled by what he was saying
though
if he was troubled he ought hold his tongue   why be fresh meat to a gaggle of vultures 
whod like nothing more than hang him on a misstep
He was more intelligent than that
A better man than that
 
yet he stumbled
--   The trouble here is is . . . 
 
My God  dont jimmy your words before the harpies

“is is”  was in reference to him addressing ISIS (or ISIL  as the President preferred)
which to her was possibly nothing more than him catering to the Cuntrys hawks
those who would have absolutely flipped 
been asphyxiated on their vomit
if America decided to paid ransoms       upwards of $150 million dollars apiece
for journalists James Foley or Steven Sotloff
though darkly  she could imagine the sums reasonable when compared to anteing up
$500 million to train and arm Syrian rebels

when would we learn

hadnt we trained and armed Iraqi soldiers  --  who fled before ISIS  --  Two Divisions
she had to look that up
a division is “usually comprised of 10,000 to 30,000 troops (mirecc.va.gov)”

Two Divisions fled
leaving in their wake  and retreat  materiel (she was attempting gentility  although she 
would be remiss if she didnt recognize that those soldiers  --  and the America people were 
not told  --  may also have been attached to mechanized forces  tanks armored vehicles 
canons etc)
bought and paid for
with American Treasure and Blood (and she would be goddamned if she was going to allow 
the pathetic Right to co-op patriotic terminology this September 11  --  if one commemorated 
such things)

and which over the past month US warplanes and drones have been smashing to bits
 
O R

hadnt we trained and armed Afghani soldiers
who either sold their weapons or turned them on Coalition Forces
recently murdering American Major General Harold J. Greene outside Kabul

if someone were weak in regards to World Geography  --  after all  this is America whose
World turns only within the framework of all-that-is-American  --  she would remind 
them that Kabul is not only a city  but it is the capital city of Afghanistan  and its largest 
and most populous


it seemed to her 
 
the President was becoming fatigued by a blaise American electorate
whose incoherencies were borderlining on schizophrenia
or at least inside the Capitol Building
Congress was bitched  and capitulating  because political elections were approaching 
in November
and so very many politicians were more concerned more about their reelections than their 
avowed Constitutional obligations

to be very fair
OBLIGATIONS is a big word
lots of syllables
frankly a word unimbued 
and which curried no favors on the Hill

Then
there was the big deal made in a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll which stated 
categorically (she did backflips to stop herself and curtail any trouble she might 
engender by breaking it down into its inflammatory pieces of caterwaul and gory)   61% 
of Americans were behind military action against ISIS/ISIL

61 per cent

it immediately reminded her of the lousy medications she was forced to ingest because 
her body was taking her on a ride she couldnt possibly have foreseen or influenced

61 per cent  --  she thought  --  reminded her of the inert ingredients mixed in with the 
active ingredients present in her prescriptions
61 per cent of America was inert

61 percent of America
may have been clandestinely and chemically pithed to have forgotten the indecencies of
the Bush Administration
who are the real culprits
the hubris addicts
who could only have benefited the Cuntry if they had taken hot shots


OH   where to start

Nigerian Yellow Cake  aluminum rods  outing a CIA operative  Shock and Awe-shucks!
a real favorite of hers Mission Accomplished! (and its associated Red White and Blue Photo-Op)
the Coalition Provisional Authority (which bitched Americans  because by calling it CPA   
people offhand  likely regarded it as an acronym for Certified Public Accountants)

Black Sites/prisons/renditions/Torture  Guantanamo (recognize those orange jumpsuits James Foley and Steven Sotloff were wearing when they were executed?)  Abu Ghraib
General James Petraeus’ Anbar Awakening  that pay-off  greasing Iraqi palms (she only remembered the spelling of his name by thinking  --  bitterly at the time  --  Betray-us)

OH  where to end


Evidently
if we havent learned a thing in all these years
Where could it possibly end

                                                                                                                         

She tried real hard not to be irritated  or frustrated
her physicians reminded her  utmost  she needed to minimized her stress


she smiled at them and replied
Where  Was there anywhere in the World you can live and do that
