DUCK CHARM
paintings of ducks
mean another thing
to me
cone muzzle toy
cleanse the gun’s image
with a duck
with flannel and quack sound
one achieves idyll
decoys and budweiser
doing their job
wet dog has duck mouth
I am a humanist
I am part of the problem
TRANSLATION OF EXECUTION
the gallows
gone wireless
our ubiquitous public
ear permits
jeers and awe
imbued with lo-fi
cast broad
though changed
the lifted
veil reveals
a blindness
