The Natives Are Restless (2009)
Whether Hawaii style or swimming
the swamps of south Florida no one cares
what you see through your telescope. If you invest
wisely in the skirmish between the Theatre of the Vampires
and Darkest England you won't wind up
in stew. Unusual drum music
and other exotica like carbon paper
and flutes may be downloaded, and Mexican
complaints whip out faster than meat
shaken by belly dancing. I sense you're not
particularly interested in me. You might
hang a snap of my loin cloth on Flickr
and think differently after spinal taps by spear
and a sloppily shrunken head.

Water Lilies (2009)
French films, newly sexualized by critics,
synonyms for hybrids, light floaters
better planted in a framed bayou
by Monet. I burst out of green sleeves,
my hands like koi under a pond's sheen,
a prop in Bardot's backdrop.
Something breaks the surface
Someone bends the design
until synopsis is like awful wallpaper.
The lotus is jealous of all splashing
giving rise to a new new wave.

Update: I corrected a wrong word typo.

Shields Up (2009)
The daily handlers of Congress feel more vulnerable.
Your un-numbered patch enhances journalist's rights.
Your global cooperative explodes like twin stars.
Back in the real world malware is everywhere.
Websites that scan your drives kill Facebook friends.
Please clean up whatever HDTV mess you made first.
Your energy barrier still somehow lets Twitter through.
