whitewash the slaughter in gold

today's news is history's surrealism        
maybe the other way round        
but they are shooting dogs in sochi          
to make room for the journalist        
and when the 15 year old girl        
in the red coat and black lace lingerie        
holds her leg over her head        
spinning like a whirling dervish        
vladamir grins, makes mental notes to        
get her phone number and thinks        
perhaps i'll shoot a dog or two today        
meanwhile, in hell, sucking the marrow of        
his 50,000,000 bone buffet, stalin laughs          
thinking  massacre has gone to the dogs        
         
but high in the russian winter night
the long hair gum chew utah guru  
slides stoney surfer lay back  
like a snowboard sage of kotsensburg          
rising in stratosphere top twirling  
silhouette against the caucasus crags        
holding on the holy crail      
 
an alchemy of  motion        
spinning snow to gold
