Oh,
Say,
Boy!
Can... You... See?
I said, Can you see?
By...
The...
Dawn’s...
Early
(in the beginning was God
And the word and the void
And the Almighty,
In his infinite and ineffable wisdom said
“Let there be...) Light!
The light reflected...
In the alloy of the hub caps, the chrome of the passing motorcade,
In the sunglasses of the security and his majesty’s entourage
For Camelot’s Court has come to town.
But what security?
I said hey!
Boy!
What security?
(‘Cos all the kings horses and all the kings men
could not put your head back together again!)
And,
The,
Full,
Metal,
Jacket.
She’s my baby.
My baby and I have an understanding
Baby’s trajectory described in numbers and physics and logic,
And the causality of Mister Einstein and Newton.
Cause and effect go hand in hand.
Fist of iron in a velvet glove,
That’s squeezing on the trigger,
The genteel caresses of a lover for his sweetheart.
“Do not ask what your country can do for you
But what you can do for your country!”
I heed you Jack,
I heard your call back in ‘60
You fornicatin, catholic, son-of-bitch!
War hero,
My ass!
Well Mister President
Very soon, Camelot is gonna lose it’s king.
