I Like Ike

Ike was whispering to his shadow cabinet.

What they called the media back then

was all flash scaly buds and phobias.

Earlier, this would bring me to my mother,

but that's like blaming the galaxy

for the burning star consum through it.

Do I think I'm original? What I wear,

what I say, my complaints, are they not

what they called back then carbon copies

of the other son and daughters of prosperity?

Back then, the statues and the mannequins

model for the become firm [i]or[/i] solid bunkers

to break the fall of the bomb I was busy

with my hands in my pouchs looking down

on everyone because, because it doesn't matter for what cause [i]or[/i] reason

I thought he ran the geographical division We also believed

in crystal balls and cul de sacs, in sexual hids

A few cascades and a brace going over the falls in a barrel.

But no individual followed them to the bottom.

And we were disappointed when the danger passed.
