UNTOUCHABLE
politically
I am untouchable
pregnant
with bold ideas
in your face
about to
drop a
truth bomb
many megaton
nothing your battery
of lies,
weapons of
disinformation
can do about it
no hope of
saving yourself
building deep
underground
anti-truth bunkers
the truth radiation
will get it
if not
the unbelievable
shock wave
flash of a million
degree light
IN HER FIELD
read her PhD
loved every
bit of it
read it
cover
to cover
her topic
obfuscation
in the media
which she
researched
with such
clarity
exposing it
for what
it is
finding
it everywhere
from basic
low grade
run
of the mill
everyday
stuff
to
obfuscation
of the
highest
order
weapons grade,
sublimely transcendental
SOLVE
to comprehend the lie
you would have
to go back
to the beginning
of life
before
the fetal position
read everything scan all
those media flashes and
opp ends
from before the
dawn of time
masts and headlines
kick up
a fuss
deconstruct
every word, not
believe anything
sift through
every fable
every conspiracy
every secret
every
hole
back to
Plato’s cave
and its
very first troll
and
every major minor
gaslight that
masquerades as history
liberal radical
whatever what
not worth
the clay
tablet
so-called stylus
scribe
wrote it down on
and there it is
here’s where
it starts
chain reaction
of all
that is
unquestioned
where
it all
got stuck
became impacted
unable to solve
resolve dissolve
impossible
to redress
MARIONETTE
I was
interviewed by a,
marionette
someone ardently, adroitly,
pulling, plucking the strings
behind the scenes
was from network or
other, I forget which one,
CNN, FOX, BBC
much
of a muchness
if you ask me
someone
working those strings making
them sing
though I would
struggle against
the grain to
call it lyrical
too much
noise, dissonance,
same old same
English words
on life support begging
for death, screaming to be free
I was
interviewed by a marionette
sent
to get my fist
publicly expose me
narrative
confirmed, truth out
the door
left me
to my thoughts, not
good ones either
better by far
had they sent a robot
AI intelligence never
so
well programmed
if had
left
me be
better infinitely more
than entirely
OR SO YOU BELIEVE
déshabillé
(or so you believe)
whereas I would say
too much is divulged
subtext is showing
paradigm so exposed
to the ruination of your reputation
need a cover up
heads to
spin
though my own stock-
in-trade be
scarcely golden
seems like you may just
have rushed too pre-
cipitously into
some bad
media alchemy
and now
are looking high and low
under every bombed structure
for each
and every collateral
making such a racket to
deflect our eyes
from the hypocrisy
the place
reduced to a desert
carnage
beyond words
sad that what might have
served poetry
bent out of shape to
sustain
the war industry
defend
death’s exceptionally
make the case for a rapture
thing so sickly sweet
will
annihilate the need for
theology
morality, humanity
basic kindness and love
the species professed to hold dear
NO FLIES
no flies on me
but the flies that
are on me
are jewelled, enamelled,
iridescent
and the buzz
they get to create
louder than
a perfect media storm
where two
idiotic major stories
crash into each somewhere
stupid out
in the mid-Atlantic
shedding each other pieces
as all
establishment voices
in pursuit
of the savage lie
are so hard-pressed
to miraculously achieve
MAINSTREAM NARRATIVE
(for the students)
the great locomotive
steamed out of the station
built up
momentum
determined to cross
from
ocean to
ocean
but
ran out of track
and crashed
unable to
hold up that weight
on its cardboard wheels
