Hose Noser Poseur And Other Tales From Mourning Papers
    Recalcitrant domination of my psyche
    Reinforced as a daily ritual
    On news of the latest outrage
    Committed by our hose noser poseur
    With cowboy attitude covering feigned imbecility
    And contrived twang belying his source
    As another blue blood hound from Connecticut
    With elitist tendencies and fascist thought train
    On the fast track to destruction
    Has brought me to this pointlessness in time

    The daily regurgitation of trust
    And diminished return on love of country
    Continues to pummel my brain storm
    With hose noser poseur visions
    In various states of tortured outcome
    Beaten by Misses Sip and whipped to death
    By renegade straws from Minnie’s soda
    Screaming to all who can hear “where has Ore gone”
    Filling me up at the overpriced pump of corporate greed
    With unbounded glee and imagined tunes of joy

    But truth be told for once
    The concrete reality statue of honesty
    Leaves little room for satisfaction guaranteed
    As the hose noser poseur closes in on immortality
    Tied too tightly to oblivious immorality
    Resulting from death below and fire above
    As the masses pray for relief workers
    From the Lone Gunman Union
    To take up reading the classics once more
    By light of book depository windows

    And Mother Mary spins in her grave
    As screams arise from the twin sarcophagi
    Of Monticello and Mount Vernon
    While the hose noser poseur picks at nostril
    Releasing boogers of the CO2 army
    Armed with hydrocarbon particulars
    Written in the ancient tongues of bad science
    And fear mongering rose colored glass trepidation
    While the second in command hunkered down in the crypt of power
    Repudiates his own existence and involvement
