MEANWHILE

meanwhile
above the clouds
the Lolita Express
is banking
descending

is like an aeroplane
in a children’s story
inspiring thoughts of
magic and
mystery
and exciting destinations
full of memorable
characters, exotic beings

the speed of this jet
being quite impressive
you think you have
left that
shadowy raptor, harpy
that goes by
the name
of nothing
is the embodiment of
nothing
in its tracks, empty-
clawed, struggling
far behind

today it
missed its pray
the sneakiness of it all
just too much.
for it
  existential disappointment
in its eye
as bleak as pure abyss

back to
Noam and Ali
after
   so much
meanwhile

only two options
the man
is an idiot
    confusing the meaning
of bilingual and bi-
sexual
   (purely on the hidden
sexual punning
sounds of
language)

we have
   the philosopher maestro
of linguistics
juxtaposed
  with this hip hop
moron who
doesn’t
   know right
from left

unless
   the joke
is on you and for
all your acumen
you took this
covert killer master-
satirist
   at face value
did not
    see his
       failure to
find and comprehend as
radical sign
beyond itself

leaving you
    a bit denuded, stripped
of all
presumed acumen

an empty vessel when
nuance
   called for

meanwhile
the jury was out
but is now
returning

let me see any, if any,
Chomsky satire,
     Chomsky comedy

any of the resonant poetry Chomsky wrote

can recite
to end this thing with
less
   nihilistic bite

as the Lolita Express
comes in to land
