go go china

oh lord am i busy
learning about china
dissension hasn't caught on there yet, you know
the tallest nail gets hammered down

when they take over
you better burn your anarchist poetry
and say yes sir yes what can i do, memorize
you'll get the hang of it, we'll harmonize happily

oh oh castro

they televised your trial, you grew as viewers knew
locked you up, then to mexico you go
batiste, the capitaliste
trekked to the mighty mexican mountains
and nipped at the buds of revolution
but the weed of want is strong
and mud ate the machines of war.

if john glenn wayne
gleaned a skyburst
and waned with the moon
you’d be to blame

oh star spangled country
why did we try
to spray LSD on this guy?
or powder the mans feet
to make his beard retreat?
then it didn’t work when
they poisoned smokes and pens

so throw the proof away, CIA
and let Fidel be true today
the doves came to his shoulders
and they are here to stay

classsssssy

lotus eaters
eating lotuses
with a xanax chaser

i will get old
i won't stay here

nonexistent, noneventful life
in provincial massachusetts
lends itself to chinese dreams

i will learn more
i won't know all

sticky rice
sticking sides
tasty travel tangents
