El pato vuela, canta
y corre, pero
ninguno de las tres
los hace bien.
Big yellow hibiscus faces
with red noses—
Venetian sailors
brought
venereal disease
to New World
now Millennial events
speed up?
Get off fossil fuels
for transport
Get off oil addiction
Plastics could be
recyclable
Zero Growth regenerative
recycling as for
thousands of years
with the Tequesta
Get off this disposable
binge—
& water! dont mess
up the Oleta River Dont
play with the big Snake
Can live without air
8 minutes
Can live without water
2–4 days
can live without food
40–50 days—
Survive, clean up our
air
Clean up water
Grow enuf food to
keep everybody
alive
Instructors: any
indigenous populations
Indians, Africans,
Tibetans, Bedouins
Laplanders—
Chernobyl began
the question—
How much can the
Government lie?
(Miami Herald pervasive
and controlling—)
Locally the Seminoles may
be the Gurus.

Mistaken Introductions
or this marvelous hi Lama followed
in here by screaming madwoman
charging she was betrayed 10 years ago
on one of the moons of Saturn
or, I want to introduce you to this
universe which unfortunately
doesn’t quite exist.
We set up luncheon at Rizzoli
for the Tibetan photog who
hadnt prepared his
slides, it was a disaster—
May I introduce you to your
prospective son-in-law—
unfortunately today he’s drunk
unshaven but a good
businessman tomorrow
It’s a magnificent hotel
just this week there’s no
water to flush the toilet
above the 10th floor
where you’re staying and
we had a fire in the elevator

C.I.A. DOPE CALYPSO
CIA Dope Calypso
In nineteen hundred forty-nine
China was won by Mao Tse-tung
Chiang Kai-shek’s army ran away
They were waiting there in Thailand yesterday
Supported by the CIA
Pushing junk down Thailand way
First they stole from the Meo tribes
Up in the hills they started taking bribes
Then they sent their soldiers up to Shan
Collecting opium to sell to The Man
Pushing junk in Bangkok yesterday
Supported by the CIA
Brought their jam on mule trains down
To Chiang Rai that’s a railroad town
Sold it next to police chief brain
He took it to town on the choochoo train
Trafficking dope to Bangkok all day
Supported by the CIA
The policeman’s name was Mr. Phao
He peddled dope grand scale and how
Chief of border customs paid
By Central Intelligence’s U.S. A.I.D.
The whole operation, Newspapers say
Supported by the CIA
He got so sloppy & peddled so loose
He busted himself & cooked his own goose
Took the reward for an opium load
Seizing his own haul which same he resold
Big-time pusher a decade turned grey
Working for the CIA
Touby Lyfong he worked for the French
A big fat man liked to dine & wench
Prince of the Meos he grew black mud
Till opium flowed through the land like a flood
Communists came and chased the French away
So Touby took a job with the CIA
