The drug war, the fear wars, to say nothing of the war on equity

have taken Bermuda, 
Cozumel and St Croix 
out of quick commute
for Thanksgiving.


The rational mind
objects to this
wasting of blonds.


The aesthete swoons,
but is too chaste to
bring it up.

Tresses tarnish

now, untumbled

by the tides. 

Maybe we can get
Fox News to fret
the fall in rentals.

Just a thought.
Worth a try.

Stay out super-late tonight
picking apples, making pies

put a little something in our lemonade 

  and take it with us

we’re half-awake in a fake empire

we're half-awake in a fake empire
