Hope Bait [Today's News Poem, January 14, 2011]

Hope Bait [Today's News Poem, January 14, 2011]

Her heels have direction, they've walked from desire
Only because she's too drunk to return
In her Porsche and needs to stay fit so her belly
Can host a new clone, should she meet the right droid.
Anklets of silver; for gold is too gauche
For the shades of her toenails, her modest restraint.
Like dominoes, cocks go erect as she sways—
Climbing the hill to her mansion in fog—
Then they topple and hide disappointed, in trousers.
A clone, she's an actress, a fnord that you missed
Due to your jealousy, fantasy, hope.
They unscrew her prosthetics and download her brain
To the master of scams, to the foundry of fraud.

"Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali has left the country, amid the worst unrest there in decades. The Arabic language network al-Jazeera says the speaker of parliament is temporarily in charge. The president was reported to have boarded a flight out of the country Friday evening local time. The military had sealed off the airport and closed Tunisian airspace a short time beforehand."

"The incidents and disruptions continued into autumn, the records said, and college officials became concerned about Loughner's mental health. After an incident in September, a police officer delivered a suspension letter to him and recounted the events that had taken place. When the officer was finished, according to the report, Loughner responded, "I realize now that this is all a scam.""

Commuting by Limo [Today's News Poem, September 24, 2010]

Commuting by Limo [Today's News Poem, September 24, 2010]

Market the beast with a ticket of plastic;
Swallow your interest with relish
And laugh at traffic ants of metal lights
Aligned in rows for tolls, as worker-slights.

Fuming on freeways; impressed they're not drastic:
Smashing my windows and tearing my servants
Of fraud from sockets. No! They sniff the trail
Of dollar bills and chase another's tail.

“In a bleak assessment delivered Thursday at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s 13th annual International Banking Conference, Mr. Volcker said:
The reason we are all here is that the financial system is broken. We can use that term in late 2008, and I think it’s fair to still use the term, unfortunately. We know that parts of it are absolutely broken, like the mortgage market which only happens to be the most important part of our capital markets.”

“While consumers have done their part by shying away from exceeding new credit limits and turning increasingly to debit cards, the question is to what extent are consumers voluntarily reducing their balances, and to what extent are banks making the decision for them. ”

Trust the Ascetic for Nothing [Twitter Found Poem, July 9, 2010]

Trust the Ascetic for Nothing [Twitter Found Poem, July 9, 2010]
Tweets+Edits=#twitterfoundpoem

I gave all my worldly possessions for some peace of mind.
SERIOUSLY!!!! I Couldn't take it...
Ah, the life of the Ascetic is the better and saner way
of addressing injustice for some peace of mind:
people don't put all their trust in me for nothing.

Money isn't everything. What seems reasonable
and convincing to the inexperienced is not necessarily correct.
the life of the Ascetic is the better and saner way.

in all honesty the Ascetic Aesthetic is hot.
Asceticism is optimistic, hopeful, and cool!
Baby-making is for horny fools
and the GREEDY HUMAN!!!!!!!!!
only the Ascetic is suited for hot Baby-making
because the Ascetic already rejects all worldly pleasure.

I already gave all my worldly possessions for some peace of mind.
people put all their trust in me for nothing,
so trust in me for nothing and place your funds with me:
St Fonzie the Ascetic.
