THE THINGS I HAVE
TO DO FOR YOU



“Do you know what happens
If you don’t stop at Secondary Inspection?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you keep going north”
“You get shot?”
“It’s not a good idea”
“I figured that much”

The man by the window
Was wearing a white shirt
A badge hanged from his neck
And he held white binoculars
Next to his face

It be better for him if he was
Holding a crucifix on his hand

This is where the world
Becomes a giant drum
And the helicopters
Make it vibrate
The purring in the sky
Makes a good drummer

This is when you listen
To the radio
And realize you can
Write better songs
The musical of the
Hunter-orange slip
With nobody at the gate
The heavens gate
Your exit gate

The jar lady
Now walks
A black lab
But I don’t see
The pretty blond
Beauty on a daily basis
Is to good to be true

All I have to say is:
Arigato

MIGRA 101


The new Roswell
Is in San Ysidro

It is also the
New Stock Market
The genuine Wall Street
Everything here is on the line

Trading of souls
Implants of the mind
Sun tanning of the brain

How apocalyptic!

Government backed mysticism
For the highest bidder
Manufacture of success
Modified subjects

Miraculous combinations
Proudly made in America

I have to admit
It was thrilling
To see her again
Walking her dog
K9 looked happier
And she looked as beautiful
As the last time

But a middle age woman
Paraded with a crystal jar
On her hand
Inside there was
Brown paper
Folded paper
Recycled paper

She looked happy
With her acquisition

And all those
Blue uniformed assets
Nervous & tense
With the approaching of
The verdant light

It is normal to be afraid
When seeing green
But is better to be
Friends with God

BORDER TABLE


I am believer
I believe in everything

What a beautiful miracle
Inside a government uniform
What a beautiful wonder
Such a tender face
Blue stars in her eyes

I think she would look
Her best
Next to a statesman
A president
A poet?

“What are you waiting for?”
“I‘m a...”
“You can go now”
“Okay”

That was Martin
Tall and skinny girl
Looks ready for the Olympiads
Lots of energy…
Very good

“You’re the one that keeps track of time?”
“Aha”
“You have to do what you have to do”
I had no idea of what she was talking about
I just nodded
