Are we to
clean up the
mess
you
left
us
with?

So that
you
can
return
to
your
north
your
cabarets
and
chatanooga's

There isn't
enough
water
in the
Caspian to do so
and the sturgeon
have left you


NA SHARGHI
NA GHARBI
JOMHURI E ISLAMI?

What were you
thinking?

Were you thinking?

shish e ye
nay...
dar shab e yalda
shekast

and now
some of you
the tenured
secure
citizenized
ann-tellectuals
tell us
to let it
run its course
as you
spin in your
tautological
circles
dizzying the
rest of us
with your jargon

Talks
symposiums
conferences
round tables
and panels

moderated

by experts

who expound

on our

inalienable right

to eat yellow cake

 

Abbreviate it

A lot do
I.
R.
I.
try
try
to make it
benign
call it
quasi-
semi-demi
