MUDDLE EAST



subcontinent region is exotic 
of 
smells and sun and tropical green

news 
only 
shows 
dry desert streets 
pitted with bullets smashes and crumble shops
where
women
run between rusted car barricades

I'M VICARIOUS shouts a newsman 

under god under war/oil under the sand/old paris of the east
infrastructure blown
by 
remote drones and the Hummvee tip of the spear

backyard generators are
cooled
with
bucket waves of chucked water

Blackwater and black market riot with loot

no one says civil war

i’m stabbing out a last fag
choosing cool jazz music to hear stretched out
in my dry bed
to 
blow
the arguments and armaments of men
from
my
soft western head
