I am not able to concentrate Here
sometimes
Sometimes in America
the news the facts the data comes too quickly
My mind isn't able to rest
and think about the rest
of America and it's world
Sometimes in America we are working and forget
Sometimes in America we miss the news we create
Sometimes we
Have no time to imagine elaborate screened-in patios in New England
Have no time to remember our wars
or the Americans that we've lost there
or the ones still there
In America we definitely don't have time
to think of non-Americans

Friday Night Visit

I went to Mt Pleasant last night to visit some friends I haven't seen in a while. At Sprengelmeyer's we talked about Afghanistan and Iraq. We talked about the war booty we brought back. I contemplated how much a book I have, written by Osama bin Laden might be worth. Then I went over to Solomon's place and told him some poems, mainly about America. And talked about places that might be good DJing gigs.

Work Release

To save time I didn't brush my teeth today
Instead I spent those minutes drinking coffee on the side stoop
I'm getting better at walking to work
I'm just a nicer person now
I really like planting flowers and trees all over the Capital
Sometimes I feel like an American Legend
Like Johnny Appleseed
I really like to use the trowel that looks like a knife to plant bulbs
like I'm reinserting little hearts in the ground
and my new coveralls make me feel professional

American Service

In America
Where bad service is as commonplace
as the commonwealth
We act as if we are used
to only the best service
In America we get the service
we deserve
even in the chinese restaurant
even in the Chinese restaurant
we get a specific spoon
just for soup
just like take-out
if you order the special
they treat you special here
this Is America and
we are Americans
and we expect
to be treated
as Americans
