Fear grace, elegance, civilization, delicatesse

Whitman   By Blue Ontario's Shore

(the Maccabees were your typical
terrorists knee cappers ethnic cleansers
after they won i wouldve been
in the first  batch killed  and Judas for all
his supposed ulterior motives seems
righter than  Jesus
that time they came to Bethany
for dindin with Lazaurus  see
John 12)


those responsible for the fire
in worcester not
the homeless couple
squatting in the abandoned
warehouse those responsible
simply enough we
the homed the parkers


in covered garages with
sky ramp walks  to  our offices in


this country where
in this generation


millions of decent
working class
housing units
have been razed to
create parking space


in this country where
the square footage the
"living area"
of the average home


has more than doubled
in this generation


what are we to do then
in the age of competition


with those too stupid
or too crazed too
weak or weakened (still so
many Vietnam Vets)
too fucked up to
compete


for all the hectic
assertions of entitlement


luck does
count but for the grace
of  some  force call
it god call it
luck there go
you there go i
not a few of the home
less worked hard for

what they got

the six dead worcester
fire-fighters


part of the price
paid for
gourmet kitchen
for plenty
of  convenient parking
