Haiku.

"a jukebox for my 45s"

nab no trace gas
  raw fog of war
sage carton ban
slabberg rogue
  bard organ
Bering straitjacket lack
invoke vast enlistments
reverse by tinned dendrons
bitten tongue torque lingers

"The puzzle at the heart of McCarthyism is that, on the one hand, you didn’t see a lot of traditionally repressive or coercive means of political power being exercised, yet the scale of the intimidation was intense, with real consequences for how people thought and acted and worked." (via Mefi)

"To Idiot

Revenge began race carnage.
Beg never!
For all odd, a bad dollar of nepotism,
one vassal, con foe.
What I saw is no ill.
I began race carnage.
Billions!
I was it!
Ah, we of no class, a venom
sit open for all odd.
A bad dollar of revenge
began race carnage.
Beg never."
