GOLIATH FALLS
Shadows and shapes are ****fting at the ****pyard...
someone is trying to murder Thursday by coincidence,
using a stone in a slingshot
Men who are desperate use whatever they've got
Prisoners in cells hurl bullfrogs
Powerlessness corrupts them absolutely
Meaner than the junkyard's mangy underdogs
Sounds like a small town on a placid pond
where car bumpers are covered in war jingos
where the Golf Course Gestapo
will be unfamiliar with the prison lingo
When you clean the floor with a toothbrush
When you spend a lifetime licking boots,
licking toilets clean when they won't flush
you won't care who or how many you shoot
It is so far beyond hopeless, it is beyond description
except for the peristence of Life's uncanny quirks
The hated, the spat-on, the God-abandoned
scratch their heads, when the wild shot actually works

Twelve stories tall and powerful enough to lift 1,200 tons,
the Goliath Crane at the old Fore River ****pyard in Quincy
is not exactly something people are lining up to buy.
The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, the ****pyard owner,
found out the hard way last year when it asked for bidders
on the rusting crane, not used since the mid-1980s,
and no one responded.

Calling it a "David versus Goliath" effort, a new group on
Thursday announced its statewide campaign to defeat the proposed
constitutional ban on same-*** marriage.
"We're obviously a new organization that doesn't have a lot of
time to get its feet under it," said Bradley Kemp, of Lawrence,
a spokesman for Kansans for Fairness.
Scott Hanks, pastor of Heritage Baptist Church in Lecompton,
said he was surprised by the campaign's use of the David and
Goliath story.
"It's amazing that they want to use a Bible character such as
David and Goliath to go against the Bible's principle that
homo***uality is sin," he said.

Greg Nordholm, the president and co-owner of Norsar, the company
supervising the demolition, told The Patriot Ledger of Quincy:
"Everything was progressing normally, and then suddenly, without
warning, a connection of one leg to the body seemed to fail."
Workers had been dismantling the 25-story crane known as Goliath
for several weeks at the Fore River ****pyard in preparation for
its ****pment to Romania.
Daewoo-Mangalia Heavy Industries, a Romanian ****pbuilding and
repair company, purchased the crane for an undisclosed sum.

TOURISM
Another Strange Trip for a Blood-Soaked Country
Can Romania count on Dracula? You go, ghoul!
Now in Romania, more than a decade after a coup and execution
ended the reign of communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu --
who sucked the life out of his country for years --
tourism officials swear a Dracula theme park will
help solve its problems
But with Ceausescu safely underground and capitalism the
order of the day,
Romanian planners predict that, when Dracula Park opens its Gothic
gates, 1 million tourists each year will pass under the park's
"Welcome Forever" arch to wander its catacombs, enjoy neck-rubs
at its full service spa and take a spin on the Black Chariot ride.
They want to make the vampire a perfect host, and hope to throw
in a zoo, golf course and vineyards for Dracula brand wine tastings
(red, of course). It's an all-Dracula Halloween house of horrors
all year round.

he sustains himself on the ****p's crew members.
Only one body is later found, that of the captain, who is found

of strange events that had taken place during the ****p's journey.
Dracula leaves the ****p in the form of a large wolf.

Jane went off with St. John as a missionary and never saw Rochester
again-but she's also got to rescue her husband, who's just been
killed off at age two by the evil megacor****ation, Goliath.
In the first book, Thursday had trapped a rogue Goliath executive

is being used to blackmail Thursday into retrieving the exec,
ostensibly to face charges of "embezzlement, Goliath contractual

ChronoGuard, needs her to help him save the earth, which will

is trying to murder Thursday by coincidence.

The Iceboat Cometh
World War II weapons makers deem icebergs as the ideal medium
for boat design.
Any fa****onable scientist in 1944 had himself knee-deep in a
weapons project. It all started with an innocent letter from
Albert Einstein to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1939,
wherein Einstein speculated on the construction of atomic weapons:
.... it may become possible to set up a nuclear chain reaction
in a large mass of uranium
American physicists and electrical engineers had put effort
into the Philadelphia Experiment, where high-intensity
magnetic fields were channeled into the hull of the USS Eldridge.
The idea was to make the ****p invisible to magnetic mines,
but it had the unfortunate side effect of turning the entire
boat a vibrant shade of lime-green.
Homophobic Captain David Herdeg demanded a transfer,
and then an honorable discharge, rather than helm this
"candy-ass dinghy".
Tactless Nuclear Devices
With such uncertainty nipping at the heels of what was supposed
to be the US's flag****p weapons project, other, smaller outfits
began to wonder why exactly the Manhattan Project was receiving
so much attention. For example, the Bat Bomb Project, run out of
Camp Bullis in San Antonio, Texas, attached small incendiary
bombs to the backs of Mexican freetailed bats harvested from
limestone caves in the area
As Joint Chief Gerald Meyer put it, "We can't have the Russians
figuring out that they can make boats from ice. They've got more
ice than drunks. They'd have the most powerful, drunken navy
in the world! We could call it the 'Russian Barmada'
Enrico Fermi, plucky Italian physicist, secretly built a
small nuclear reactor under the squash courts of the
University of Chicago. He was later denied tenure for
participating in illegal acts that could have potentially
destroyed the University and the entire state of Illinois.

POET'S POSTSCRIPT
There was a different poem that I had worked on, for more
than a week, partly having to do with the last crane
collapse in Texas. Then came the new crane collapse
of "Goliath" in Quincy, Mass. Had to put everything
aside for a minute. Unexpected priority interrrupt.
Quincy is a stone's throw (no pun intended)
(well, yes, actually it is) from where I live.
It would be a long walk, but I could do it.
Not like the more-distant lands of Texas and Florida.
For people not from Boston, that is "QUIN-ZEE",
not "KWIN-see" like the pear-shaped fruit.
They say things funny, here, but you get used to it.
Gay-sounding name, isn't it? Like "Little Lord Fauntleroy"-
"Quincy, your momma's calling you! Quincy! Come here,
this minute!". Poor kid. He will probably grow up bitter,
with unresolved issues, because of the hate and
homophobia.
Too bad. Probably shouldn't tease them- they might
change the name of the city, like "Gay Head".
Too bad to see a once sea-faring place like Boston lose
its ****p-building industry.
Supposedly, so I've heard, my father's side of
the family traces to ****p-builders in northern Germany.
Mother's side traces to Ukraine, in the Carpathian
mountains, near the Romania/Transylvania border.
I had read an article about "Goliath" getting ****pped
away- I thought somehow it was supposed to be to Borat's
glorious nation of Kazakhstan. Not sure if I got the
wires crossed, or the article had been wrong. I thought
to myself, "That one would certainly make good poetry,
if it collapsed."
Good poetry- well, that is merely personal taste, but
"good op****tunity" would be nearly indisputable, for
someone who has spent months writing poems about
industrial cranes.
I don't doubt that the fellow who died was a nice fellow.
For people who are religious, and manage to think that
every human tragedy must serve some good purpose, under
God's magnificent plan, I don't know why this one should
be any different, just because there is a gay man who is
trying to talk to you, and reveal to you what that
good purpose might be.
Sometimes I think- I should leave it alone, just not
bother, but then I think- the fellow's dead, anyway.
Not writing a poem isn't going to bring him back.
But more than that, as incredible as it might seem to
you, I think that there really *might* be a rhyme
and reason to why this happened. Rhymes anyway, even
if not very polished ones.
As my usual disclaimer- I was barely aware that this
crane even existed- I saw an article, it glimpsed my
mind for minute, then I forgot all about it. Whatever
mental and spiritual churning goes on, is below the
conscious level.
It *might* be mere coincidence. In perspective, this
was third death in 3 years, involving cranes at that
****pyard. There have been some 26 crane incidents in
Texas. Perhaps you just don't notice crane incidents,
until someone starts writing poetry about it.
Maybe.
If I were not being completely honest, I wouldn't need
to bother to inform you of that fact. It is kind of
funny- people might think that *I* have something to hide,
but it is just the other way around. Just about everybody
has something to hide, except me and Dr. Mary's Monkey.
Our government is hiding genocide against gays.
The media is hiding genocide against gays.
Nothing less.
You, my friend, if you are not among the tiny handful
of people who know better, you are among the legions
of Good Germans who ought to know better, but don't,
because they don't care to know.
Where there is not genocidal hate in America, there
is genocidal indifference. There is hardly such a
thing as an innocent person, in a country that routinely
elects warmongers and bigots to the highest offices.
Americans will *never* forget 3000 people who died
on Sept 11, but the fact of 150,000 innocent civilians
who died in a self-interested war, justified on made-up
reasons, hardly even registers in the minds of a
self-loving American people who think that they
are the Greatest. And *they* want to preach to *me*
about "narcissism" or "lacking empathy"?
It is a world upside-down. I am sure that the Religious
Right would also like to ****tray itself as a brave
David, standing up the big, powerful gay Goliath.
All the more upside-down. A small reality check-
the property holdings of the Catholic Church, in Boston
alone, probably dwarf the collected financial worth
of the most of the gay-rights organizations in the
country. In terms of who is powerful and who is powerless,
I think that it is quite clear who "David" would be.
I learned recently that a speaker at an anti-gay marriage
rally, at Boston's Tremont Temple Baptist Church,
had been casually talking about capital punishment
for gays, as if that were merely historical context to
highlight why gay people are so undeserving. He justified
capital punishment, by citing the Bible.
Not even Bay Windows, Boston's largest gay paper,
managed to mention this detail. They mentioned the
talk about "sodomites" and "abominations" and "vile
affections", yet "capital punishment" seem strangely
off their radar.
Why? Do they not realize that "capital punishment"
is referring to *death*, which is indeed the ugly
legacy of Massachusetts and the United States,
in terms of the historical mistreatment of gays?
Do not even gay people have the sense to realize
that *death* is a more significant subject than
mere name-calling?
Mitt Romney, then Governor of the State, and Presidential
candidate was there. All he could do was gush praise,
"What a crowd!"
I repeat- you would never know it, based on the non-reaction,
but whether anyone, even gays, realize it or not,
that is serious enough that anyone and everyone can die,
if it isn't addressed. To fix a problem that deep,
it is hard to imagine anything that could be effective,
without it involving a great many people dying.
In my heart, I would raze the entire city to the ground,
raze the entire country to the ground, if people did
not wake up and realize that such things *must* be
talked about, and *must* be broadly condemned.
It is most certainly not OK to try to be respectful,
good friends to everyone, including genocide-mongering
religious crackpots who are busily vilifying a minority.
To sweep it under the rug and ignore it, is only *more*
provocative, to the small numbers of people who manage
to see the entire picture in a sensible perspective
and sense of pro****tion.
The smug powers-that-be will completely blow you off,
if you protest that certain attitudes are throwing
down a gauntlet, and representing an act of war.
They couldn't care how true it is, how justified
is your rage. If they don't think that you can
make war, if you aren't anyone famous or powerful,
they cynically, simply ignore you.
Wouldn't it be almost a delicious irony from the
mind of God, Herself, to have the powers-that-be
wake up, against their own resistance, to the
creeping realization that maybe all the talk of
"war" actually *might* be real? That they actually
have to *deal* with these little nobodies, and can't
simply crush them, as they are accustomed to doing?
Almost any workable concept of God would probably
have to embrace such things, every now and then.
I do not dabble in black arts. I am perfectly serious,
though, when I speculate that whatever is happening
here is probably related to the legends that we have
about things like witchcraft, or for that matter,
"prayer".
I have a news magazine, with an article about quantum
physics, that I have not yet read. Its title says
something to the effect, "Do our minds create reality
by looking at it?"
They are not talking about vivid imagination. They
mean exactly what they say. Somehow, consciousness
surfs the cosmic soup of infinite possibilities, and
crystals one that comes into view, which seems like
our only world. We just aren't seeing the rest
of Infinity.
It makes much more sense that "God" should be
a principle than a sentient entity. If a watch
needs a Watchmaker, then a Watchmaker would need
a Super-Watchmaker, because a Watchmaker is more
complex than the watch, itself, and cannot exist
simply ex-nihilo. To imagine otherwise does
not answer any riddles- it compounds them.
What we mean by "God", really, is "Infinity", but
I believe that Infinity does not have any inherent
moral principles, other than in small, isolated
corners of Infinity. Those might be entire,
smaller-scale infinities, unto themselves, but
smaller-scale in the Grand Scheme, nonetheless.
I consider many other possibilities, but that
is my leader contender- that consciousness alone
can steer events.
I might also be mind-controlled by hypnosis
and being "assisted" by rogue intelligence figures
who have the power to do such things. Maybe not
"rogue" so much as righteously rebelling against the
world of corruption that they understand themselves
to exist.
Maybe I am Devil-possessed, and all that nonsense
is true. If I really thought that it were, I would
cease to do it. I highly doubt it, though. After
all, the real killers of this world are the ones
in the White House, the Pentagon, the CIA, etc.
By "killers" I do not mean merely the Iraq war.
I mean political killings, bodies dumped, covert
acts of genocide, all off the the radar of a
self-interested media and public.
I used to think that "fascism" was merely a case
of a dictator or small clique of leaders acting brutally,
in a suppressed country. I've come to appreciate that
fascism can be the diseased *culture* of an entire
country and its people. I see it Russia. I see it
in America.
Maybe the events are only coincidence, but I
highly doubt that, also. The only thing that I
can say for certain is I have no other literal
involvement, than blind-sight and poetry.
If you doubt it, please hang on to your hats-
we are a long way from done.
I am going to take you on a wild roller-coaster ride.

Romney: Pat Robertson 'Strengthens And Nurtures
The Pillars Of Our Country
Tom Keske Says:
The media worries so much about whether poor Mitt Romney
might face prejudice, as a Mormon, from the Christian Evangelicals,
yet they don't seem to see the irony when Romney is unable
to pass up a photo-op with one of the nation's preeminent,
hate-mongering crackpots. A man who prays away hurricanes,
who calls for assassinating leaders of other nations,
who praises a book by RJ Rushdoony that includes a call
for death penalty for gays, who hobnobs with dicators like Mobutu,
profiteering off of slave labor in Zaire diamond mines.
It is a ****trait of a country that has become decadent almost
beyond description, a cartoon caricature of itself, a rotten fruit
getting ready to fall from the tree. Somehow the word "decadence"
has become associated with the Left, but Romney-Robertson amply
demonstrate that the real sickness of which the country is dying,
is typified by the far-Right.
