Panos
Ran into Panos tonight. He was hanging out in front of the Novel. That's where I usually run into him. Met him years ago when I was going to the poetry workshop at Beyond Baroque. Turns out my friend Suzan had told me a story about him already --before I met him. Then once when I was telling her something about the poetry workshop she says: "my friend Panos, that I told you that story about the blowjob he got in World War II, he goes to that workshop too!". When she told me this I could picture right away who he was. The next time I saw him at the workshop I introduced myself, saying that I thought we had a mutual friend and that she had told me his blowjob story. Anyway, so that's how I met Panos. He showed me his poem tonight that he had published in one of the local Venice papers. I asked him if I could put it in my weblog. He thought that was a good idea.What's Wrong
By Panos Douvos
What have we done wrong
we only protect our national (oil) interests
bribe an Arab goon king or two
what's wrong with that
are they angry at our SUV's and heavy wallets
why are these dark Arab peasants upset
if they have a problem
we can squash them like bugs
what's wrong with that
we steal their human basics
back their goon-leaders
but they're our goon-leaders
what's wrong with that
they have a beef--we sound the drums
send in the black and brown boys
preserve our oilocracy
loot their lands--pollute the world
they look at us cross-eyed
we nuke their ass
what's wrong with that
so it is known
dad owns oil in Saudi-Arabia
dad owns Devils-brand oil wells
and come tomorrow--will own
the whole heil world
what's wrong with that name url comment
