[close] As an activist, Sophia Raday ran away from cops dressed in riot gear. Then, much to her surprise, she fell in love with one.

[close] Beasts live in the forest. They come into our world to hide among us in disguise. These animals look exactly like houses, peaked roofs, eaves, and porches. These beasts plant down beside the road, looking like a fixer upper. People live in them, not knowing they live in a monster. Every word they say is being heard. That's what it feeds on. It lives off the captive family's words. It gets indigestion after a bad joke and stuffed after a loud card-game with the cronies. The beast thrives on argument. It fills the house with its hostile breath. The blood pressure of the people inside rises. After a night of insomnia, mulling over something someone said the day before, they bicker at breakfast. "John, would you please brush your teeth after you eat an onion sandwich?" John lies in bed, having spent thirty minutes brushing his teeth. Morning, John gets up and throws his milk at his wife. "I smell milk!" You get the picture. A bonus for the beast is a murdered family. Every beast that's been around has [close]

[close] You're my loud neighbor, the one who leaves the caw of football on the television while preening in the bathroom mirror, keeping one eye to the glass. You flip over to the other. Your friends guffaw at Late Night with Letterman. I bang the straw broom against the ceiling, but they just hop and squawk. I catch you out back pawing through the recyclable trash stealing outdated issues of Newsweek and Time. Brushing back oiled black hair, you stroll away from the dumpster. Later to explain, you leave answers on my machine, a bird voice dry and voweless, mumbling about magazines; "Can't afford them," and "twice read better than once read," then you end with a screech, "I am Mr. Recycle." You have a screaming birthday party. A murder of friends waits under the front awning showing off garbage bags and knocking their beaks together. I don my Halloween mask, avian, blue, Batman and take the grocery bag from under the sink. I mix with the rooks, starlings, jackdaws, and janitors you hang out with. "How o [close]

[close] This sequence of fifty 14-line poems uses the Zapruder Film of President Kennedy's murder as a prism through which to view America and the world. Refracted rays touch on crime and punishment; guilt and responsibility; charisma and love; the dying victim's experience during the stretched-out seconds of his violation and death; and the dark world of war profiteering, narco-traffic, and deceit where the facts of power determine history. Epic tradition (e.g., Homer, Dante, Milton) shares these pages with science, religion, and popular culture, now funny and now horrifying. Limousine, Midnight Blue is a haunted book about a haunted film of an event whose hungry ghosts still walk the American unconscious, rattling their chains louder every year. "Ovid himself might have taken notice of this volume. It's one thing to turn a woman into a tree, another more advanced thing to transform fifty frames of the Zapruder Film into as many sonnets. Limousine, Midnight Blue is a radical display of poetry's abilit [close]

[close] Z-183 In a democracy, everyone is the President. Someday, when I grow up, I will become a Veteran and sleep in every street. Cold streaks of phlegm along my beard, my breath will hurt the flies. Make Uncles Ho and Sam apologize. I’ll roar around the corner in delirium and drop my quart of Boone’s Farm on my foot. My tongue will stiffen up, my gorge will rise, my scalp will sweat and I’ll throw up. But even then I will preside, over something: I will administer the filth around my neck; rule my lice; tax my fleas. I can hire them to bite me, pay in blood. I can use my wisdom as a force for good. I’m President Me. Hand in hand in hand, three years walk straight into the sea: 1963, 1973, 1983. [close]
