“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?

“Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.” – Noam Chomsky
“The obvious types of American fascists are dealt with on the air and in the press. These demagogues and stooges are fronts for others. Dangerous as these people may be, they are not so significant as thousands of other people who have never been mentioned.”The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information.
With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.” – Henry A. Wallace

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
