Graveyard Launch to Heaven [Today's News Poem (Sonnet), May 3, 2010]

Graveyard Launch to Heaven [Today's News Poem (Sonnet), May 3, 2010]

“The superweeds could temper American agriculture’s enthusiasm for some genetically modified crops. Soybeans, corn and cotton that are engineered to survive spraying with Roundup have become standard in American fields. However, if Roundup doesn’t kill the weeds, farmers have little incentive to spend the extra money for the special seeds.”
– William Neuman and Andrew Pollack, The New York Times, May 3, 2010
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/04/business/energy-environment/04weed.html?hpw

The rats will feast on scraps—they'll lick their snouts;
And cats in turn will dine on rodent meat.
Yet both combine their gristle; ground about
In vats, encased as sausages we eat.
We've solved the puzzle-knot of roots with saws
We pulled from stones. A prophecy declared
A greater beast—not red in tooth and claw;
But rather just a midwife who's prepared
To cut the prize away from dying wombs.
The buffalo is white—she's made of bone
And frolics near the graves. The moon's in bloom.
The ragweed, squirrels and dogs collect near stones
That mark the victory of cunning weeds
That chase the moon with fuel the mother bleeds.

Brinksmen Fear the Nightstalkers [Today's News Poem, May 2, 2010]

Brinksmen Fear the Nightstalkers [Today's News Poem, May 2, 2010]

“A global nuclear conference that opens Monday is shaping up as a showdown between Iran and the United States, with each side jockeying for allies in the escalating dispute over the Islamic republic's nuclear program.”
– Mary Beth Sheridan and Colum Lynch, The Washington Post, Monday, May 3, 2010 edition; May 2, 2010
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/02/AR2010050203144.html

Yes, each of us makes his own way through the gutter
Evading the searchlight that scans through the night time:
We're stalking and weaving through hedges and gardens
Until we are caught by the beam—then we sputter
“This game is not fair.” Do we know it's to war prime
The boys of the city, whose fathers must harden
Their lambs into rams so the angels pass over
Their doors—to delay the last rest in the clover?

And later we jump off the buildings and fences
Each daring the others to jump ever higher.
Defeating the terror of gangs or pursuers—
We rattled ourselves to control our fear senses.
The brothers would mock my delays—I'm the crier.
We judged both the others, as pre-teen reviewers.

My best friend was Peter—he'd always outdo me
In drinking and smoking; in fucking—in winning.
A champ of a wrestler—the king of his high school
With motorbike charm and the guitar to match, he
Ignored me for years—I don't blame him for thinning
Our friendship back then, I was fat and a loud fool

Who dreamed in the daylight of searchlights in Berlin
Where dreamers of freedom were shot—they were fleeing.
While Peter discovered the pleasures of poppy,
I pleasured myself with my books as a shut-in.
His brother discovered the body—he's screaming,
And screaming I've heard since that day. I won't copy
The mode of his sorrow. I've learned to stop crying—
I've learned to be fearful: the brave ones die trying.

Horror Show [Today's News Poem, May 1, 2010]

“The incident in New York City's Times Square that began with a suspicious vehicle appears to have developed into a real threat from a fire bomb, according to one official account. Part of New York City's Times Square area was evacuated Saturday, May 1, after a suspicious vehicle was found there on fire. All reports indicate the vehicle contained gasoline, propane and possibly gun powder. Incindiary devices are not explosive devices, but are lethal.”

“It's the first time that the character of Krueger, not just his actions, has been legitimately disturbing and that's mainly because of what Bayer and company show us of pre-burn Freddy. You're not quite sure if he's just a soft-spoken, simpleton gardener with innocent intentions or whether that southern twang, sweet tea approach is Freddy Krueger's actual mask. That's not just creepy, that's bothersome. Those are real-world issues.”

A Yankee Doodle murder fest
For those who fear explosive vests.
A trip to Wal-Mart gets it done
Just strip the powder from your gun's
Supply of ammo; pump some gas
And steal a car—you're there with class.

The movie ends on climax notes.
We never see the hero's motes
Of sorrow poison him with guilt
Nor see his righteous anger wilt
Beyond the credits—nor his shame
As friends despise the killer's name.

Entrepreneurs have always been
America's domain of win.
We grew the market for the car,
Computers—why not also star
As action heroes in a war?
For what's a little righteous gore,

When Ted Kaczynski earned his fame
By bombing labs, to much acclaim?
Who makes a movie starring shlubs
Who drive the cabs or tend the pubs?
The start-up costs are dear it's true;
But movie stars must first debut.

Last Words of a False Prophet Before Her Beheading [News Poem, April 30, 2010]

Last Words of a False Prophet Before Her Beheading [News Poem, April 30, 2010]

“You ask I make my choice? It's made.
I choose to separate myself
From both the worshipers of blades,
And ones who use a book on shelf

To choose their mode of bigotry;
To justify their cruelty,
To please their Gods or ancestry.
I'll swear at oaths of fealty

Before I let you compromise
The oath I made to humankind.
You cowards! All of you surmise
That killing me destroys my mind

And silences the truth. It's true
You'll ask my skull for pithy barbs—
Until the swords are rusted through.
With ash and sackcloth as your garb—

You'll still recall the atheist
Who questioned why you must persist
In elevating solipsists
Who don't believe that God exists—“

Another Toylit Scoop! Beating Krugman by 3 years! Here's the reprint + comments

So Paul Krugman (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/30/opinion/30krugman.html?hp) spots now what I saw three years ago: the dollar trap. I noticed the increasing volatility in currency exchanges and the Chinese currency strategy and started examining contingency scenarios. I think this article implies a financial meltdown, but it totally missed the size and scope of it. Still, given the events over the last few years and given how extremely WRONG the pundits were, I think the article's prescient. I didn't see the scope of the meltdown, but I did catch the long term trend-dynamic before anyone else did. Yee haw.

Mark Ames didn't like the direction my analysis was going in at the time, because it was too self-congratulatory. I'm glad he stopped me, because I was going to write a bunch of articles about how the USA won't suffer during a financial meltdown. Ha! Well, not all the trends are bad here. US-Chinese competition is going to splatter European industries. Cheap American shit vs Cheap Chinese shit: whose cuisine will reign supreme?

ps: China's signs of inflation are starting to become obvious.

China: Bow To Uncle Sam!
By Khakjaan Wessington
November 17, 2006

http://exile.ru/articles/detail.php?ARTICLE_ID=8380&IBLOCK_ID=35
SAN FRANCISCO - China is on the brink of a financial meltdown. Ok, call me a crackhead. Feel better? Now let's talk facts. According to the World Bank, China's profits on capital invested is climbing, not dropping, as an overheating economy might suggest. Whether one is counting on official figures or reverse engineered figures, China's total investment rate is still somewhere between 37%-45%; significantly higher than the 21% average investment rate internationally. When combined with a 5 year Incremental-Capital-Output-Ratio (ICOR) around 4.5% (the % of GDP needed to boost GDP growth by 1%), this seems to paint the picture of a China on the rise: until one looks at US productivity figures.
Graphing durable productivity growth in the US economy over the last four years reveals the US has averaged a huge 6.09% durable productivity growth per year. This has resulted in drops in Unit Labor Cost (labor cost per unit of GDP) significantly during that period: 1.11% per year on average, even as GDP has grown during this period. In fact, durable productivity growth has exceeded GDP growth since the 2000-2001 slowdown: productivity in durable manufacturing is rising so fast, it's making US labor costs even more competitive than they already are. What this means is that the advantage that low labor cost economies have over the US is rapidly shrinking in America's favor.

Now, let's complicate the picture: China is the world's second biggest holder of US Treasury securities, and 70% of its trillion foreign reserves is in US dollars. The popular economic argument is that this huge debt balance is dangerous for the US, because a trade deficit siphons wealth out of the debtor's economy and into the creditor's economy. Eventually, the value of dollar-denominated assets should drop, because US wealth should be getting depleted. This premise is flawed.
A trade deficit can be good if the economy with the deficit is creating more wealth than the cost of imports. The University of Michigan and Florida International University study of US entrepreneurial activity showed it hit an all time high in 2005 with 23 million starting, or managing a business under four years old, and The Economist recently claimed that the US has twice as many entrepreneurs as the EU. This suggests that the US is using the imports of cars and computers (components that make up the US trade deficit) to build businesses.
In economic terms, the value of the goods imported exceeds their cost. The result? Hyper-productivity growth across durable producers and a growth in efficient, small manufacturers. The trade deficit is irrelevant if the imported goods are worth more than they cost. A laptop made in China is more valuable in the US because of the business climate here. Likewise a truck, or most anything else. Who ever heard of the Chinese protecting intellectual property rights? If every jackass with a bank account, connections, or factory is ripping off small business ideas, the value innovator isn't going to get paid for his work and isn't going to add his best use to the economy. Combine this with guangxi networks and party officials demanding bribes, it's no surprise that China's labor costs are rising. There's less incentive to add value if there's a good chance it's going to get stolen - hence low worker productivity growth. This works so long as there are cheap labor inputs, but as labor gets scarcer, wages climb. These factors eat away at China's long term productivity growth and are examples of the way a manufacture's value increases once it crosses the border.

What about the risk of China dumping its dollar assets for other assets? If China does this, it will increase supply of dollar assets and also reduce the demand for dollar assets (since it is a major importer of dollars). A devaluation in the dollar would result in a devaluation of the rest of the dollar reserves China has and put a major dent in its total reserves. It would also make Chinese exports to the US more expensive, and imports from the US cheaper. Dollar inflation would increase and that would hurt everything in the US economy: or would it?
A rapid drop in the Dollar versus the Yuan would result in almost immediate, and major import substitution by US producers. Until inflation is tamped out, it will continue to drop the cost of US manufactures compared to foreign manufacturers. It would be a deathblow to European industries, which would need to respond with even more protectionism. Airbus is already on the ropes - a 20% drop in the dollar would see almost every plane order in the world for the next five years going to Boeing. Multiply this across every industry where the EU is barely competitive with the rest of the world and you can see that a disaster is brewing, not for the US, but for Europe. China would lose its target market for exports and its domestic consumption won't be able to make up for the difference.
China's current investment rate is predicated upon the presumption that for the near future, China will remain one of the world's most competitive manufacturers. With profits where they are right now, it's easy to say that China hasn't over-invested. Still, the trends are telling. Competition with slave economies has unlocked productivity growth in the US economy previously unseen. So long as US durable productivity growth is greater than its GDP growth, the US will continue to get more competitive vs. low-cost producers. Therefore, financing US debt, rather than being a sign of long-term Chinese strength, is a sign of its long term weakness. China's locked itself into a strategy it can't escape. At this rate, the US is going to eradicate the competitive advantage of low labor cost producers in a decade or two. But if China tries to stop subsidizing US trade, it hurts Chinese manufacturers and benefits US manufacturers.
It's just another example of how things aren't always what they appear to be in the international financial game. A strategy can be good in the short term, but lock you into a problem you can't escape. Sorry, China!

“In recent decades the agency has often said it was deploying more “NOCs,” or officers under non-official cover.

All of this driving on highways detracts from the
Horror of brakelights and swerving hillbillies that
Drive like our men on a tear on Afghani roads.
Accidents happen—the enemy stalks us by
Stoplights if need be. If cover's eroded then
Nothing can stop the determined assassin from
Hitting his mark off the beltway in darkness. I

Circle my block as I'm often inclined for one
Never is sure of a spousal betrayal. She
Gathers the dishes in soapy sink lather, but
Secretly wishes I'd finish my meatloaf and
Clutch at my chest as the interest collects on my
Heart—which is gray I assure you; for nothing is
Sacred, profane. I'm not anything really. Yet

Snow in the springtime deflects the moroseness I
Feel as the creepers are nestled on branches of
Trees. If it wasn't for timber I couldn't be
Sure if the houses around me were features of
Nature. I'm certain the finches have always been
Singing for humans for nothing exists for the
Singer without us to listen—we listen as

Thunder approaches the neighborhood
Stand of a statue amidst the wood.

Bulimic Surfer [News Poem April 28, 2010]

“Crews ignited a small area of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday afternoon in a first attempt to burn some of the oil before it reaches shore. “Based on our limited experience, birds and mammals are more capable of handling the risk of a local fire and temporary smoke plume than of handling the risk posed by a spreading oil slick. Birds flying in the plume can become disoriented, and could suffer toxic effects. This risk, however, is minimal when compared to oil coating and ingestion.””

Swoon while huffing petrol fumes.
Cauterize the bleeding pipes.

Dodge the ruined derrick booms:
Surf the sea and win acclaim.

Tigers burn in forest fires.

Acid rain consumes the crops—
Poisoning with water drops.

Bitterness rejects the notion
Life exists upon an ocean
Slurping all with tides of drowning.
Climb atop the chum—he's frowning
Anyway—he's going down, so
Grab the branch with honey drops, though
Frenemies demand a share—no!

Bitterness inhales the smoggy
Air until its lungs are soggy.
Blackened, choking, still it's breathing—
Gasping true, it's screaming—wheezing.
Cleanliness: one breath undoing
Years of phlegm; to stop eschewing
Promises of life renewing?

Bitterness rejects the notion.

Dancing to the Tune of the Profit-Bot [News Poem April 26, 2010]

Dancing to the Tune of the Profit-Bot [News Poem April 26, 2010]

“San Mateo County sheriff's deputies searched the home of Gizmodo blogger Jason Chen, who created an online sensation among Apple Inc. fans when he posted extensive information about a lost iPhone prototype, according to a message Monday on the site.”
– David Sarno, Los Angeles Times April 26, 2010
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-iphone-probe-20100427,0,5272705.story

The sublime, the obsessed: the fools we became
As we searched for the prototype to explain
The recitals of faith in gizmos we claim
Are the pathways to godliness and not pain.

And we found it inside a bar near the work
Where computers designed the future for all—
With the oracle left on table: where quirks
Of tomorrow were swiped for sake of the thralls.

With some features we lacked, we'd pay for the chance
To pretend we were robots churning along
To the ring in the tone. As servants we dance
At the ball of the lords that features a song

We adore—it's the ration we crave
As we wait for the day when we save
And transmute into prophets from slaves:
But for now let's not make any waves.

The Demon Haunted World [Today's News Poem, April 25, 2010]

The Demon Haunted World [Today's News Poem, April 25, 2010]

“A grenade attack apparently targeting the Bangkok residence of former Thai prime minister Banharn Silpa-archa, an influential ally of the ruling coalition government, has injured 11 people.”
– ABC News, 24 minutes ago as of 8:18pm PST, April 25, 2010
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/04/26/2882782.htm?section=justin

A candle in the dark ignites
A fuse that flashes insight:
Alone and mortal, free to spite

Our consciences with reasoning;
With science, pain is easing—
Grenades provide the seasoning.

Kabbalah's sparks aren't just for Jews—
Its flame is just the produce
Of fertile minds that pick and choose

Which way insanity is clad.
At best a type of monad
The universe has driven mad

And cast adrift on quantum dreams,
We're chemicals that burn and scream
Against the nihilistic themes

Of nothingness perhaps. We fear that God exists
Inside our minds, that we are it—the horror twists
The intellect into a force we can't resist:
Irrational is rational. We must persist.

shut the f*ck up and listen to what I have to say.
#SometimesItsBetter to think before you speak
but usually it's so much better to fight
Buddha! was a wimp
Hate IS love.
What drives two sides to fight but the fear of their own weaknesses?

Don't love. buy hating.
Buy Iraqi oil sector growth
Buy war bonds.
Prison Guards marry & #Rape Virgins Before #Executions
Give peace a chance ?

war Virgins should just shut the f*ck up and listen
to the sound of musical cluster bombs
while they look at cheap produce
at teh Korean supermarket
Before they are raped &
executed a By Firing Squad of Stoned #Rape
Golems while praying to
Buddha!

#SometimesItsBetter to admit defeat

Take One For the Team [News Poem, April 24, 2010]

Take One For the Team [Yesterday's News Poem, April 24, 2010]

“I have never quite gotten the Pat Tillman story out of my system. Only now am I understanding why. It has been six years and two days since he died, his head blown off amid a pile of rocks on the side of a hill in Afghanistan, murdered by guys on his own team, other U.S. soldiers. After lying about it, the military eventually called it friendly fire and treated it as a mistake... I was looking for tears, when I should have been looking for facts. Dannie Tillman did what a nation full of high-paid, overblown journalists should have done. She went after the real story while the beautiful people on TV and the nerds with notepads broadcast and wrote morality plays.”
– Bill Dwyre, The Los Angeles Times, April 24, 2010

Who cares what Plato; Lao Tse said
When Rumsfeld's lies are cast in lead?
The Pentagon's a pentagram,
The Internet's the telegram—
The noble lie is just a lie.

A general must first be sly
To win his war with hearts and minds.
The bullet's just a contract signed
To seal the deal, to back the line;
To backdate steals, to strip the mine.

And if a lord becomes a pleb,
He'll tangle too in warfare webs
And feed the beast with fangs that gleam:
He signed his life for sake of team.

LATE! I know. It's done. First Announcements

1) Google is ripping me off w/ newsfeed clicks. I gave them three chances. What's the point of converting readers to newsfeed subscribers if they're going to rip off small publishers like me? So if you want to support Toylit, please go on the site directly before you do so. Right now, Google is stealing my applause.
2) Even though I'd like to strictly be a vehicle for poetry, I'm embodied. It was a busy day. So sorry for the late news poem. I'll see if I can make it up later on today after some sleep.
3) The Toylit Q1 Report is almost finished. Then you will have a different avenue through which to express appreciation.

Okay, news poem time.

Cock of Love [Yesterday's News Poem, April 23, 2010]

Cock of Love [News Poem, April 23, 2010]
(Alternate Title: "Dickhead")

“Bret Michaels is in critical condition suffering from a brain hemorrhage, his publicist said Friday... Before joining "The Celebrity Apprentice," Michaels starred as the lothario on VH1's lusty reality dating series "Rock of Love" from 2007 to 2009. For three seasons, Michaels searched for the women of his dreams amid a sea of implants, tattoos and thongs. ”

Thank God it's just your brain stem—not your dick
That broke or else you'd have to get a job.
A first-aid dummy lying slack—the trick
Is focus on the ceiling crack as sobs
Of life expel from lips that tasted cunts
That ought to stone a man like me with lust—
And yet I am repelled by whorish stunts
That threaten cocks of steel with VD rust.
So keep your implants, tats, and thongs away
From me; I'll save my dick from everything
That leaks, secretes, or otherwise displays
The signs of gooey life—my piss don't sting,
I'm living well despite my raving dong—
You should have sheathed your dick and wrote some songs.

It's gonna be late, but most of you aren't even on PST anyhow

I promise, even though I really don't owe you anything, that I will not go to sleep until I've posted April 23, 2010's news poem.

Ah choices

Stay here and compose the news poem, or step out into seduction-city? My choice would be a little easier if Google Adsense wasn't stealing every penny from clicks to the newsfeeds. Not much easier, but tonight it might be the deciding factor. I guess it could be worse, they could be stealing clicks from the site itself--they're already ripping off a poet; it's not like they could sink much lower.

Since at least 10% of my regular readers are writers, I wanted to see if any of you were having similar problems.

Ah fuck it. I'll go out until I have grist for my next poem. That should take like five minutes in this city. Anyone know where a guy can find a fun grenade party in SF?

Lulu bangs all day. Who you gonna bang on when Lulu goes away?

Neo-Viking Funeral [News Poem, April 22, 2010]

Neo-Viking Funeral [News Poem, April 22, 2010]

“Police say a man was killed after getting hit by a train at Muni's Castro Station around 4:30 p.m. Thursday.”
– The Associated Press, 10:08pm PDT, April 22, 2010
http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_14942312?nclick_check=1

Some bathroom tiles surround this trench.
We passengers coagulate
Between the train and subway bench;
An ozone armpit strangulates

My dainty nose. I feel too faint
To stand and yet we chase a door.
Inspired by subway smells of taint
My tie constricts—I fall to fours.

My face erupts—I ride this creek
Of piss upon a log of shit—
And you demand I breathe? You reek!
Just take your CPR and split.

Just save yourselves—destroy my suit
Before a bum discovers it.
From drunk, he'll rise to business coot:
From begging bowl, to throats he'll slit.
