Bush Retires to His Ranch

Bush Retires to his Ranch

Bush Retires to His Ranch (2009)

Most weekends
more tourists bloom
in Crawford
dumbly. Loafing,
swimming
in a pool scooped over
dead pigs
and brush killed off
he thinks of friends in Dubai
and prays
Please
have mercy on me
Madame Biographer
Please
preserve my legacy of murder-

ing
everything.

Dr. Mike, this blog's poet in residence, informs me that Blogger is being persnickety and won't accept his password. So, I'm posting this piece for him.

Outside my door
The empire collapses

Reports of torture
Are finally declassified

The YouTube generation covets
More photos of military abuse

All that's burning
Is the kindle
