Cretan Maineiac (April 29,1961 / Lewiston, ME USA)

Blowing in from under Daley's shadow, Cook
county, liberally
sponsored by green gas-

bags & misery's boldest broker, he
can, thru
comely pauses &

flowery syllables, swooning
rhythms, comfortable
cadence & that mellifluous gargle- 'just

because you have an individual right doesn't mean the
state or federal
Government cannot constrain that right'- yes

he can- having secured a mortgage from
Rezco as unsung Chicagoland seniors sweltered &
rotted from neglect in

summer haze- yes he
can- w/ the
policy experience & Chicago wind to

cleanse our crusty pallet of rotting apples, bitter
yams, the unpleasant after-
taste of History, from a single acorn sprout nuts enough to

engulf Mr. Lincoln's words & Mr. DuSable's legacy under
Daley's expanding
pall, leave only

change in our pockets, co-
opt hope, extend
voting rights to the graveyard & subsidize that

dose of Soma prescribed to
liberate
all Yanks of

that onerous yoke
of
sovereignty.
