“All discarded lovers should be given a second chance, but with somebody else.”
– Mae West
for the record
she keeps her
book
near the bed
neatly listing lovers
she has known
they wonder
does she grade
on the curve?

Lies, Damned Lies and Politics
September 11, 2001
Every mother’s child is hit
Thousands of bodies
Crushed, shattered, incinerated
Folded, spindled, mutilated
And fifty states a wailing wall
Rescuers hurtled into overdrive
Choking down thick grey ash
Inhaling particles of death
Yeetgadal v’ yeetkadash sh’mey rabbah
Cover the mirrors
Wooden crates to rest the weary
Soggy with tears
Screams of the dead
Reverberate from the
Bronx
To the Battery
And sea to shining sea
Rivers swollen with blood
The malignant mouth
Of the media
Bombards airwaves and print
Inciting the masses
Loyalty to the lone star dictator’s
Final solution
Bisous,
Léa
Make Hugs Not War.
