Dyed-In-the-Wool!
Stains there in your palms, wallowing, ling'ring,
Metamorphosed into tears and so drips,
Tainting where they plunge, and you're unsullied?

Ancestor. Ancestral Pen. Ancestral Form. Dyed-in-the-wool

Hello US citizen,
Scores of children
Have recently
Been kidnapped
And tear-gassed
In your name.

My education
Teacher reading from an empty book
the cane stings on my bare bottom
I wear that dunces cap look
the red ink that marked a childhood so rotten

Meditation of the Snuggle
Medicinal medicine,
Unintrusive silent
sedatives caressing
spiritual souls in soft
entwinement
Because what else is
there more important
than the meditation of
the snuggle couch kind
