TRANSLATIONS FROM THE PASSOA

From economic to emotional-
"austerity""balanced budget" to closed schools and libraries
"too big to fail"means "we can afford lobbyists"
Remember"we must burn the village to save the village?"
First casualty truth,second=use of language.

WHAT WE ALL WANT
(she shared-
is to work.To feel useful.To be engaged
not enraged by lack of opportunities and depressed
She engaged me.It was a marriage of opportunity.

BONE THIN,no dollar him
so he strums strings outside greyhound
she contemptuous of him,waves her twenty
as if it were her key to him
He finally sings a Greyhound Traveling Song
she releases the twenty-he comes
to Kick Butt for a milkshake AND a coffee!
THAT is poetry!

UNSEEN,ANON
Art has secrets.Reveals like a strip
perhaps,only at the last,do you see all.
