tyranny
tyranny
it’s a masquerade
their vile deluge of pretense,
their temerity
is but a drizzling ruse
a tempest, shrouded in guile
raining down on us,
deliquescent victims, we
are dying of thirst

Full Moon on Elm Street
“That’s not just a street lamp you know.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, I read in ‘The Daily’ that the government is now installing surveillance cameras.”
“Oh yeah? Hmmm. Maybe we should give ‘em something to look at!”
“Um…uh…what are you DOING?!”
“What I said…” he guffawed as he dropped his jeans, flashing his rear toward the street lamp.”
In a sterile office downtown…
“Got another full moon at the corner of Elm and Main.”
“Do we need to send a squad car?”
“Naw, this dude’s harmless. This makes 10 moonings on Elm this week!”
“Homeland security at work!”
