Poetry and Violence
My Daddy tole me one man slew a thousand
Wit' an ass' jawbone
And when done had a cool drink from that gory club
Holy water A fine tale memorializing the slaughter
O the blood O the blood O the blood done signed my name
The Muse croons after violence like she do flowers and rain
Wardrums git her jiggy widdit
And pain
In the lines of Homer and Song of the Cid
Even in Gentle Walt Whitmans Drumtaps
She's doin' dat thing
She can dance to the rhythm of hate
Just like she gets rite with Spring
For hate is steady forever Hate is like iron
Love like a summer breeze
Strong hot today
tomorrow gone
I know it wuz the blood I know it wuz the blood I know it wuz the blood
for me
If he who is angry without cause
Must burn in hellfire
Is even one to be saved
Even one
My nation stands stiff at attention
At words wrought at the cannon's mouth
Rockets Red Glare Bombs Bursting in Air
What 21 odes shall salute Noodle McVeigh
What poems shall explode
When the next one sets off the nuke in his suitcase
