Rainy Night in Foggy Bottom

Rainy Night in Foggy Bottom When it rains all night in Foggy Bottom you can smell the swamp beneath us -  the old rotted tree roots, the tadpoles, the water moccasins skimming -  The swamp is only ever ten feet away – and all that separates us is asphalt, and gas and water pipes, and underground telephone lines. It’s pitch black down there – dark from lack of light, black as a night without stars – even the water is black. The level of the swamp rises as our own level imperceptibly falls, both at an accelerating rate – soon we will be together.

What the H--- Happened in Washington, DC? (a postcard poem)

a distressed driver takes a wrong turn, turning in a strange, over-militarized city - overturned and shutdown and upside-down - a fallen town - and she panics... did she really have to die? and what was her sin? her capital punishment crime? Capital crime in the capitol? and which politician gave the "shoot to kill" order?  shoot to kill? and why? and who/what have we all become? "southern trees bear strange fruit" - and my soul is spinning at 78 rpm. please tell me again why she had to die?
