How many fascists in high places

     Gopher Prairie’s Somnambulant

          "I love America, but I don't like it." *

     Asleep in one dimensional word hovels,
     ghosts of Dickens squirm
like a psalmist for the first little pig’s last party

     First 
     there were 
the reefers

     Next 
     came 
the huffers

     Followed by 
the buzz runners

     Fire & crystal 
     forged 
     into 
a conundrum
     Flimflam Damn 
     the Rapper Mann 
     could not 
     crank off
or blame a DJ 
     hand job 
     remix 4

     Could not 
     regurgitate 
     the 
swallowed 
     sounds 

     Match 
     the 
     referential hyperbole
     reinvented 
     for high crime 
Improv,

Kesey 
frei      for a story named after the 3rd  goose  . . .
