Sonnet: Turkmenian Nights
Using grammar to manipulate his xenophobic readers,
he sealed the borders. Long plane flights and jet lag,
both things of the past. Road warriors morph into arm-
chair travelers visiting countries no one has ever written
about. Awkwardness, a constant throughout the book,
sadly only an average book in a genre of which it is
the only member. England’s designs replaced by those
of Russia. Permafrost nearly done for. Polar bears, same.
Wolves in Poland moving south for the winter. Later
than ever before. Diplo-wonks at a loss for words.
