Sonnet: A Brave Story
Understanding the universe and the potential for life in it,
Nikita Khrushchev, in a secret speech, denounced Stalin.
In 1935, the military zeppelin USS Macon crashed and sank
off Point Sur. To this very day, it lies there, on the ocean floor.
Sarah’s pet ant grew to the size of a bus, and yet . . . and yet . . . .
Genocide in Darfur? Need you ask? Dubai, some say, has sold
its soul to the company store. Blocked from speaking in New York,
he took to the hustings in Nebraska, reading Reading Lolita in Tehran
to any who would come and listen. When things go badly, the public
does not take well to wars of choice. We know that now. Sadly,
we knew that then as well. Is flying around the world any way
to warn us of the dangers of carbon dioxide? These days, he lets
it all hang out, there in the classroom. Merely a tool of the neocons,
he hid his tutu and slippers from hostile faculty. Praise the Lord!
