pissing

 

the white man laughs loud when that Iraqi

muslim fundamentalist says that Moses

did not murder the Egyptian but Moses’

breathing that made man fall like sukiyaki!

the white bastard smilingly agrees with me

when i spin a yarn mockingly the dumb

Americans did not drop a nuclear bomb

but slipped from hand of pilot on Nagasaki!

the white rascal thinks he can hoodwink

all the time, and all the inhabitants

from east of Atlantic to Hiroshima

where he keeps pissing to create link!

cabbage from home depot

four little cabbage plants

i bought at the home depot

to plant in my not so huge backyard

feeding my young plants with dung

from Belvedere, South of Barrhead

in no time i saw my tiny plants

grow into four huge green balls

like an American Military Base in Mid East

attracting fluttering butterflies, gliding dragonflies

and more dotting leaves and punching holes

eventually when i harvested my cabbage

and began to peel off the dotted leaves, one by one

i discovered, in between the leaves

worms, like bulging women with exposed bodies

crawling and creeping to hide their faces
