Mark Twain on George W. Bush:

"His ignorance covered the whole earth like a blanket 

and there was hardly a hole in it anywhere."

Catbirds stood by for the rosy flesh of discarded melon.

Shattered sky sected

by fractling twigs.

April's foetal leavelets

seep stainlike from

the inkish 

and interstitial wood.

My fingers' own

banal opacity becomes 

the thirsting, thrusting gap 

whereinto gouts 

of sharded world will pour.
