<*>> the thing about boxes <<*> (a psalm of intervention; an unsuborning of conformity's porn)


one could almost catch a qualm

in that breezy mainstream's
incorporating balm

for the travails
of the Empire's
enfablers "of record"

in their tug of war
with their very own

register ringing Frankenstein

were a skull and crossbones
not tailing the haunted sails

of their self-proclaimed
flaunting
of
journalism's banner

(in that
pale propped banter
of
blindering shades);

and if that trail of tears
for the death
of untolled millions

wasn't leaving
a telltale

crimson trickle

in the
undisclosed stains
of
their patriotic veils;

or if Julian Assange
wasn't
voraciously nailed

by the selfless integrity
of
achilles-compunctioned heels

to dictation's
gunwale punctured,
enabling stable of rails;

proof in the crosshairs

of the enmity
aroused

by informing
We the People

of our lording boards'
unmentionable
"representational" crimes.

*

and waving
their
wailing postcards

the
embedded abettors
have suddenly discovered

orphans in our midst

from the selective pews

and demonizing pulpits

where sainted protection's
genocidal anthems,
incarceration masses
and
unresponsive demeanings

ring from the
never aftering
rafters

of their
lesser evil

off-white children

sacrificing
steeple.

*

the reason
the
bugged, rigged,
and nuclear rocketed,

trillion dollar-shortfall pocketed,

intelligence-impugning,
constitution-pruning,
election-immune,

deeply
entombed
Eternal State of War

has left the Buffoon of Oz
in front of their
curtains

content to only pester him,

despite his embarrassing
casting off
of the
Emperor's old gloves,

and their objections
to a fanatical
sabbatical

for the assassin anointed
war queen

(the objective
of all those
mercenary valentines),

and the glimmers
inconsistency
shimmers

on the disowned,
then
intoned,
uncertained berth

of the white man's
bruise cruising
Euro-burgeoning burden

for regime changing
all the
lesser vested
peoples of the earth

must surely be
that they
daren't look

their gift nightmare
in its
puckering,
suckerfed mouth

when he's
turned out to be

such a
perfectly prospected,
incisively divisive,
invasively invidious,

sublimely infectious
distraction;

the obtuse, crowned papoose

who cooked
the spruced goose

laid
by the golden clown;

almost as divine
a
falling in their
laps,

halo arraying,

manna
from that angry god
in his
vengeful heaven

crusade-paving
miracle

as was 911.

so naturally,
he's covered 24-7

by supporters
and "resisters",

culpability
redactors
and
myth
persisters,

and all of irony's
peer-pressings,
war whores,
and
plastered
reenactors

attending the bouncing,
bubble-headed
star-spangled ball

of
vile,
viral
mouthpieces

that dependably skirt

liberty
and reason's

decades in the calling,
stalling and
falling

spiraling pall.

in light of such
a conformist-vectored
hectoring spectre

allowing one's focus

to be riveted
on the rantings

of the
uncontested
ratings maven
and
craven preying strumpet

is a
pornographic form
of
lemming-herded
obedience.

*

the deceptions of choice
for the fiction addictions

of septic paranoia's
traitorbait dystopia

amoungst
exception's
chosen
"indispensable"
enervation-nation

hooked to their
screaming headlines,
tapped apps,
and mainlining,
misleading IVs

whether the junkies believe
they're receiving

"the news"

from FOX, CNN, or NPR;

whether emptying heads
with biblical potions
on the gateway
to the beltway
of
ludicrous notions

or only inhaling
from local blonded bimbos

prejudicial presentations
of raced in crime;

whether snorting
distorting contortions
and
the smack
of lax proportion

that surrenders
independence
to the
doping agents of aristocracy

or the full blown fantasies
on broadsheets for white sheets

hanging
something wicked in the wind;

whether rhyming
adulation
for
appropriation

with the chiming Times
or
Pravda toasting Post,

or Rachel Maddow's
single-minded homage
to
warrior-buffed
zombie-restuffed
us or them
McCathyism

they're forever
being fitted

with carefully
constructed,

binary tinted boxes

(which has always been
the purpose

for stealing
our Commonsenting
airwaves

since the brainstorm
of broadcasting

vended its inception

at precisely the season

when the seeding of "treason"

uprooted
the
living

knowledge of trees.)

*

the toxic reeking vapours

hypocrisy's
dolled-up doxies

curl
in sanctioned unfurlings
of
ubiquitous
inconspicuous wallpaper

are always evident

in a million subtle things,

but rankly obvious

in what's
uniformly
overlooked.

even in the method
pushed subjects are broached

an un-teamed i
can see

the coasting encroachings
of privilege
being coached

as compoundings
resound

and "interests" seep through.

*

but boxes
must have "sides"

for identification's
teeming
and
steamrolling's
seeming;

for divvying
remaindered
citizens

in the
slight of spite's
night;

for insecurity's
anchors,

simplification's
sanding,

and Wall Street's
dispiriting,

disoccupied rebranding.

yet,
being boxes,

it's in their lot to block

perceptions
of dimension,

memory hole abstentions,

and unacceptable,
unconventioned connections;

let alone
the unclasped grasp

of complicated realities,

uncongealing fealties,
and
unexamined frailties;

or the last gasp
chancing glance
of
self-serving fallacies
and
duality's causalities;

not to mention
those
obfuscated roots

the powers that own

don't want

the people to see.

*

all the
screening gizmos,

seeing
eye drones

and i
i
i
phones;

all the watcher watchers,

conversation splotchers

and concentration
botchers

are shaped like
flattened little boxes,

like the fenced in
pretenses
so offensive to the earth,

or the ridges
of worth,

that wrongness
or righteousness

brace
inside brains.

they don't even
try
to hide

their built in dearth

of emancipation's
imagination.

*

the bottom feeding,
stone bleeding,
compassion weeding,

Alzheimered elephants
in the room

and the CIA-threaded,
war crime-indebted,
photo-op-wedded,

prevaricating donkeys
drowning out our doom

as "the two practical options"

form one such
box
themselves.

for
the crucial thing

about
boxes
is,

viewed from within,

there's no way to see out.

and thus,
like the useful lie
that communism ever existed
(in its totalitarian usurpation)

kept socialism
at the
capital of capital's bay

so, too
the shattered
shaken box
of hard-wired resistors

construe
a defense of the
only
bad guy

they're capable of seeing

in the evil revealed
in those "Democrat" detractors'

attacks on diplomacy.

but such is the myopia
of Lilliputians
and Blefuscudians

when their cataracts
have gone untended

for generations,

whilst nursing their offspring
in the rivers
of spoonfed denial

next door
to jealous godliness

and adjacent to
Aryan complacency.

*

despite the cloaks
of freedom

and tropes of democracy

yoked to
the lynchers
of Julian Assange,

squeaking in the spokes
of circus wheels
under
the brokers
of broken hypocrisy;

notwithstanding
all the sundered hides

they
strive
to
stride
behind

ye shall know them

by what they cannot abide.
