Well how is my little Eskimo pie today?








S. Just dandy, cain’t wait to git out and rile up some voters, we got iny new dirt on " that one"?








J. Oh my little barracuda, we have a staff searching 24/7, plus whatever we think he will attack us with we are sending to him quadrupled, how bout my attacks on acorn. They can’t accuse us of voter fraud, if we get them first.








S. That’s jist the way I feel bout them Ruskies and Iranians, let’s git them before they git us!








J. You are a woman after my own heart.








When I see Putin, I think KGB. And Iran, can you believe that "that one" wants to sit down with the axis of evil. I know my foreign diplomacy, you don’t discuss nothing with those guys.








Cuba, Iran, yikes I say let’s show them who the super power is and put them all back in line. I am going to finally make up for








the pull out from Nam. Now we will get em all.








S. Whoopee, you are so handsome when you are mad, I love the way your eyes flash. I’m right there for you, whatever you say I am there fir u. We are real Americans’ I am so sick of those socialists. Let’s put this country back on top.

The Class Clown


 


I remember his happy face the first day of school


So much energy bundled into his little body


He exploded with laughter and talking


He could not sit still


and could talk his way out of trouble


with a twinkle in his eye


I watched him grow up


and would always laugh


at his antics


Glad


he was in some other teacher’s class


I was too much of a softy


and found him hard to reprimand


Senior year came


He came by to visit


"I’m enlisting."


He said excitedly


A knife went through my heart


I smiled as he told me


how he was going to be serious now


and earn some respect


I hugged him when he left


bursting with pride in his new uniform


 


He hated Iraq


He hated the dry desert


and longed for the green valley he left


He was afraid to make close friends


knowing they could be blown up in a second


Everyone was tired and jittery


shooting their guns


at any phantom noise


These people hate us here


he would email


begging for news of the Valley


He found a stray dog


Company Dog


they called him


but this was his dog


other soldiers were jealous


when it slept with him


One soldier complained


constantly about the yapping


and then one day


coming home from maneuvers


The soldier laughed and shot the pup


I just want to come home


He wrote


I want to forget this place


This war


my dog


He came home today


A flag draped his coffin.

The Children


 



In tattered clothes


with dirty faces


they come to you


their bodies battered


their psyches bruised


they mistrust all that is new


you are not


their mother


their father


and at least at home


they knew what to expect


it’s unfamiliar ground


they are so small


in the huge world


surrounding them


they scream in the dark


they wet their pants


and cry steadily about


an unknown past


that you have no power over


In time,


they grow more comfortable


they laugh, they smile,


they call you mom and dad


but,


with each home visit


they return confused


they feel like traitors


their parents tell them


they cannot be happy


with you


you are just a stranger


they already have a mom and dad


They are angry with you


you have made them comfortable


stolen something


from what they had at home


they have promises you see


mom and dad are getting well


and everything will be


different


won’t it


after 20 years of speed


mom will change


she’s so sorry


bout the time


she burned you with that cigarette


for fun


Dad will straighten up


five kids won’t try his patience


he promises he won’t use


the belt again


and the private place


he touched the girls-


well, that didn’t really happen


did it?


the girls just made that up.


So one day you have to pack them up


and send them back again


It doesn’t matter that you love them


It doesn’t matter that they are happy


home is where they belong


at least for the next few months


til dad gets busted once again


Ah, but those few months


leave a lifetime of scars


on a five year olds heart.

The Lost Soul


When I was a child


I earnestly promised


that had I the chance


to meet a beggar


upon the road


that I would treat


every beggar as Jesus Christ


It seemed so simple a promise


I smiled smugly


imagining pharisee's


clad in robes and sandals


and poor lepers


I would be a good samaritan


certainly, had I only the chance


promises are easy when you live in a small town


in the fifties....


Now it's the nineties


I live in the City


and walk through plague stricken beggars


every day


Outside my office


they yell like a broken record


spare change, spare change


so many times


they make me truly irritated


I wonder where they really live?


Why does that one wear different clothes everyday?


Why does that one have Anne Rice's new book in hardbound?


Did you see that special on Frontline?


What con artists!


Jesus, What suckers they must think we are.....


Then last night


as I was trudging home


tired from a stressful day


I noticed a man huddled on the churchsteps


He wasn't asking for money


But suddenly


I remembered


a smug child


and a broken promise.

Disappearing Sister


 


It begins with a lump


or a bump


that is the last growth one sees


then one starts shrinking


vomiting


losing weight


losing hair


fading voice


no other choice


than a constant


line of treatments


medicines


and shots


will you ever come back


again as yourself


can we get through this


terrible trial


will the attempt


to destroy the cancer


destroy your shell?


Can we leave this hell?


Please get well.
