groovy bonito (or - sarda sarda sumthin sumthin mmm)

there's an ocean without salt
in the flavor of her fresh raw fish
reminding me of moments
far beyond any sushi you could imagine from anywhere

ah, sabor de groovy bonito
y lepista nuda ensalada
con limon y thin thin slices
of daicon or jicama or just that certain smooth flank from Cienfuegos

then later perhaps a homemade tamale
on a plate with savory black beans
not the ones Seymour and Mortimer serve
down at the soul food kitchen but like you'd get in Caye Coco

anon it's time to gift kosumi moves while
shimmering solid as populus tremula towering
above xylaria hypoxylon fingers beckoning
from those supine distant ancestors who've fallen and feed this fungi frenzy

until we and they
decompose
as silent symphs of breath
deplete

welcome to NEW ROME!

Welcome to NEW ROME fellow sheep and countrymen!

just as in the final days of Old Rome, this new rome America of ours resonates the same mob control tactics and signs of empire breakdown.

inbred leaders, wars that spread defences and strength too thin for monetary gain and powerplays, and most of all ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE MINDLESS MASSES. once it was the Roman Circus and gladiators and christians and lions and chariot races and other manner of glitz, blood and cheap thrills paid for dearly by some. now it's MEDIA BULL, MEDIA FAKE NEWS ITEMS, MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT DRIVEL and the dumbing down of the average joe and josephine.

and we love it. we just keep paying our taxes and saying baa baa baa, as we all march the march of the mindless.

instead of NEWS that's affecting us all and indicators of the FALL OF NEW ROME as we know it, our Media gags us with FAKE CHILD MOLESTERS LIKE KARR, and other drivel that they know will stir up interest and keep attention from REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES.

take Maywood and the Post Office centered demonstration. take down the american flag and put up the flag of the country that you left because you didn't want to be there.

my, my. really logical, eh?

anyway - more and more this whole gizmo called the USA looks to me as if the hue and cry of the old is once again appropriate,

"Taxation without representation is Tyranny"
