"Not My Favorite Section of the Bookstore"

I gaze at all the rightwing tomes
in Politics; all the pundits wrong,
who wrote to blast a foe's repute
or justify a rotten claim.

How pitiful the waste of trees!
And did they really understand?
This goes beyond the mere reward
of prostituted intellect...

Blank Eichmanns sans their Nuremberg
accounting, nor seems likely now
the bulk of those forgotten lies
to ever reel their spinners in.

What hatred must have driven them,
i realize at last: not silver,
they betrayed their fellows for.
Which i must too be wary of.

Antoinette
your fate is walking
your face is wet

lost for a moment
in the cries of the birds
