"The Most Powerful Man"

A klieg behind a gnat whose shadow's wingspan
Appalls the earth: here lies one Alan Greenspan.

"For a Mass Grave in the Mojave Desert"

The BeeGees by themselves once ruined Rock:
Here lies, of their rebirth, the deejay flock.

"V is for Victory"

After his death, revisionists put the fix in--
But those who saw his knavery, still curse Nixon.

Here should lie young Tim McVeigh,
Who G-men helped to get away.

Any Sailor

Born of sea in ancient past
his blood still knows her tang,
so when his breath is still at last
and the funeral bells are rang
let his ashes feed the sea,
and save more land for me.

To William Jefferson Clinton, musician

In office he loved his saxaphone solo,
and brash harmonica with pink oboe.

To Ronald Reagan

O last of McCarthyite creatures!
O fan of the televised preachers!
O Actor of Wood!
Did we think you'd be good--
Or just long for those old double features?

Cantos, Can't Sing, Can't Dance

Below lies Ezra, long since dead,
his poems pounded in my head.
Were he alive, he wouldn't deign
to even bother with my name --
unless I spoke cinq langues to him
inside a sanatorium.

Here lies Thomas in the bleakest rough;
I thought he was made of sterner stuff.
He didn't go for a month or two,
and then so rudely forced tereu.

Dog Days

Within this shoebox, Lassie lies, une chienne deluxe;
her vice proved her undoing: chasing garbage trucks.
