An Alternative Palme d'Or
Of cinematic palsy the enabling act,
The hand held camera, by nature inexact,
By-passes the expense of retakes; is a tract,
A missionary tract, against big studios.
Its only problem is, locating spastic scripts;
Convulsive Draculas in earthquake shaken crypts;
St.Vitus's life story. Divorce court transcripts.
The tripod and the boom may presuppose
Wall Street financing, but assure a broad release.
Art houses are a nickelodion reprise.
Outdated equally the movie palaces,
The latest screen device the hand held postage stamp,
An epileptic's jerk and twitch revenge on Noh
Or any other grim slow- motion. Monaco,
Award the moguls of the small town picture show,
The fixed projection booth, the bright projection lamp.

Amazonas.com
Outside Manaus, not to disappoint the tours,
A number of the locals have obligingly
Gone native, hunter-gatherers in those locales
Not being numerous before the rubber boom
Annihilated all of them. The derelicts
In urban jungles stateside lack so safe a choice.
Feathers and piercings, body paint on them would seem
Survivals of the 60s, and increase dislike
Which they incur, already great. Earrings are threats?
A naked savage is a homeless person, nude?
Curare is a savage’s designer drug,
His head shop all too unequivocally that,
And any medicine of his, Alternative.
Head hunter, herbalist, ex-hippie growing old,
Have you as tourist trap, asylum, dead end street
A jungle placable as this? All of your past
Tamed? Going native in its time was not PC.
It was admitting failure, just as, now, it’s seen
As saving wildlife with a nose flute. Music puts
Also its spin on histories of peonage
In rubber gathering, an expiation based
On the offending firms’ elitist theory
Goodyear will always be what makes the world go round,
And no town with an opera house can be all bad.

Amortization and its Discontents
Whatever future was the pledge,
Dissatisfaction has the edge.
Not that the grass is elsewhere greener,
But that both it and ours grow meaner.
The hay made while the sun shines sours;
One can improve his shining hours,
Not lengthen. Does to have and flaunt not
Mock the poor man’s waste not, want not,
Or does it parallel it? Greed
As demonstration of the need,
Unanswerable and unafforded,
To hoard what cannot now be hoarded:
The decades wasting of themselves.
A cliff erodes; an ice floe shelves;
Our future is a sum that dwindles,
Memory bank a bank that swindles.
One way or other, time subtracts.
Life is a minus sign that acts.

Ape and Essence
His animators readily admit
The scale of King Kong changes. On the Empire State
He’s taller than at tete-a-tete with Wray,
Though shorter than attacking elevated trains.
The actual pursuit planes shoot the model down;
The heroine adjusts to human scale.
We have to traffic with the monster that we see.
If it’s a robot than the primate must be we.

The Apostolic Succession Ends
The final pontiff has been laid to rest,
And none will venerate him. Neither schism,
War, nor atheism, and let alone
Intolerance, could bring about the close
Of twenty centuries of tack and trim.
It was diversity. The Curia
Could not adjust to thought of Peter’s throne
As Babel speaking ex cathedra, nor,
Rotated continent to continent
For relevance, could very long survive
The Papacy itself. Its Vatican
Sold off to meet the lawsuits, Montreal
As heir of the receivership, the Church
Of England co-opts the theology,
Or such of it as still can be determined.
Websites, or some few, will guide the old
To bones of saints and True Cross jigsaw bits
In virtual reality. So long
The one mandate of Heaven if the first
Among bureaucracies, the universal
Was at last fragmented by locale.
A province is the wedge of heresy.
Total depravity and ex-Elect,
Predestined as if Calvin willed, Rome ends.

Architecture 202
The lenses of my glasses, ever thicker,
Say if I cannot see it's not the liquor,
And spare me seeing in too much detail
Frank Gehry cityscapes, an out of scale
Metallic origami for such patrons
As push for calling café hired help "waitrons"
And can accept museums by the ton
That look created by a pastry gun.
If in this world of Dr. Caligari
One is unwillingly upon safari,
He learns to love the square, right angle, plane.
It may be Euclid lived and died in vain,
But so did Gaudi, and those cast iron flora
On balustrades went out with Isadora.
Astigmatism in the eye can be,
Somewhat, corrected. If the street we see
In fact is gross distortion, then soft contacts
Cannot tell buildings from the Adirondacks.
And if perspective stretches, is it not
That palaces in Venice lean a lot?
Perhaps a war might blow walls into plumb,
Neutrons correct my vision. Fall, sweet bomb.

As the Turk Turns
All crusades are the Children's in a sense:
Well meaning, uninformed, ill planned, intense.
Nothing but second childhood can explain
Ford's Ship of Peace, or Wilson's trek by train
Toward apoplexy. Activists who tout
Their diets are the inner child come out.
The medieval counterparts en route
To Palestine first were the captured loot
Of Turkish pirates, and thereafter slaves.
And can we say a Jolly Roger waves
Today above the waiting chains of cults,
Street gangs, addiction, to the end results
Of which the adolescent odalisque
And neutered harem guardian might speak.
"Jerusalem was freed, but not by us.
Mantras do not accomplish; fighting does."
Assassin is derived from hashish; blame
The victim, not the drug and not the name.
More and more abstract are the crusades "pride"
Mounts: gender-neutral ads, promotion tied
To quotas, pressures same-sex unions mate
Their fragile lifeboat with the ship of state.
The unattainable is still pursued;
The unenforceable is still renewed.
In fairness to the Turks we have to say
It's piracies, not fetishes that pay..

Ask Not For Whom the Bell Curves
What kind of bell would one design today
To sound the dread "Unclean!' of leprosy?
A matron's ordinary dinner bell,
There being now no servants to confuse?
Bright harness bells alert to any twitch?
A little replica of the immense
Tzar Kolokol outside the Kremlin wall,
As if to warn pandemics threaten? AIDS
Mutated, maybe; spore of some typhoid
From drag queen Mary; airborne syphilis,
Or fatal acne. Carville, Molokai…
Resurgent in the place names' sounding bronze
From land to sea the sunken bell of myth
Re-activates its clapper. On our doors
The Xs, death in any bell that tolls.

Assyrian Bull
Five legs and human head,
Luckily not alive:
The only quintiped.
Not symbol, legs not five
(Insects incline to six)
A queen bee sites the hive:
Her sexless workers’ sex,
A flying Nineveh.
The excavators’ picks
Evoke Iraq’s “Oi! Weh!”
That British haul took out
Their patrimony, eh?
Incestuous as Lot,
Diverse gene pool of one,
Variety and not,
Food for the proverb-prone,
A swarm dwells in a skull.
Skull of a lion. Stone
Inoculates the bull.
The bull has wings, not flight;
Sexist in her rule,
The queen has eggs, not might.
And are they vengeance, these?
Islamic acts of spite
Of former colonies?
Attacks of killer bees?
A Bull’s mad cow disease?

At the Veterans Administration
“They come down silently. You cannot hear them.
Choppers sound like Maytags in the sky.”
The Medic shrugs. “He’s talking aliens.
All this ward is. Pink elephants are out.”
“Before Viet Nam, the VA doctor says,
“If dipsos fantasized it was fire ants
And killer bees. I daresay Desert Storm
Will bring out scorpions. How violent
Is this one?”
“Only when he grabs the phone
And tries to get through to the Pentagon.”
“They can’t take off straight up. They almost can.
Don’t need a runway. Just a running start.
If we had used them in the countryside
We could have spooked the Cong. They track by sound.”
“A sedative cannot do any harm.
He’s too far gone. I rather like the thought
Of aliens abducting Uncle Ho.
I’ve always thought a little poison gas
In all those tunnels would have turned the tide.”
“Now this one,” says the Medic, “is a trip.
He thinks he’s Charles Lindbergh held prisoner
By FDR and Wall Street Jews.”
“Well, war
Has its objectors.”
“Not space aliens.
He’s talking autogiros. As I said
To Hermann Goering, don’t expect too much
Of those Sikorsky helicopters. They
Do well to get six feet above the ground.”
The Doctor leaves the Hepatitis-cumCirrhosis ward as one might flee an eighth
In Planet of the Apes series. He blinks.
"The ticking time lag of the middle-aged.
It's in technology it shows up first.
I even recognize it in myself.
If I think 'plane' it's prop job DC3
And radio is Philco. When Iraq
Kicks in it's bound to be the first night-lens
Remembered from Kuwait; the first smart bombs."
With some amusement he acknowledges
He bought the paperweight upon his desk
In the belief it was a toy V-2
To find it was a Saturn replica.
And as from outer space his own wisecrack
About the use of poison gas comes back.
"Perhaps," he thinks, "a superseded tech
Is how to win a war. Radar did not
�Pick up those fire balloons the Japanese
Sent over California; Brush fires
May well be arson by the Taliban.
Sonar cannot detect a sailing ship.
Was it a rowboat that did in the Cole?
An M-1 never jams. The M-16...
Being expendable, the older ships
Could have succeeded at Gallipoli.
Has the Atomic Bomb been superseded
By the Hydrogen? Don't go there."
