The Commanders (Iraq I)
Demolished civilian and military vehicles lining Highway 80 (aka The Highway of Death), route taken by Iraqis fleeing Operation Desert Storm, 18 April 1991: photo by Tech Sgt. Joe Coleman (US Air Force), 1991
When the Medina Luminous Division marched into
Divine Anger in the Energy Refuge Theatre--
Bottle green starlight chaos,
Blood rivers in the sand, dust flecked with bits of Sumerian gods --
The Commanders felt good about themselves,
They said Say hello to Allah
And the Medina Luminous Divison said hello to God.
Next the In God We Trust Division was drawn out of K City
It was Bravo-20 on the Basra Road
Rockeye and Hellfire lived up to the instruction manuals
As the fireballs digested the convoys of the helpless
The Commanders paused to gas up
Their F/A-18s, their humvees, their Apaches
Then moved out to incinerate the Hammurabi.

Ode aan john ford. John Ford, meester van de amerikaanse cinema en de man die John Wayne groot gemaakt heeft, prefereerde Monument Valley als locatie in zijn westerns. Dit punt in het bijzonder, nu dan ook genaamd Ford's point. Ford en Monument Valley waren altijd met elkaar verbonden. Na het filmen van de eindscene van My Darling Clementine in de studio vond Ford dat de achtergrond reproductie van Monument Valley niet voldeed en eiste dat de set op locatie in Monument Valley herbouwd werd voor deze laatste legendarische shot. Momenteel is Monument Valley een Navajo reservaat en een heilig gebied voor de Navajo. Navajo zien in de buttes ed. dieren en elementen die ze toeschrijven aan de goden. Tegenwoordig exploiteren de Navajo dit als een park waar alleen zij in mogen gidsen: photo by groucho, 21 June 2007

There they go again, those americans. Use the world as a pit stop
and what you don't use up, fuck up.
Run it back and do it again
and they won't remember, not yet having been born
when the present thirty years war
began. Besides, that was so, like, BI.
And after all this, there they go again
jumping into their cars
and madly driving off the edge of the planet
to pick up something at Safeway.
Any thing. To keep from thinking about
the carnivalesque pretend election gameshow.
Freedom and democracy and great stuff are hidden under
one of these shells. You can't see them, but they're there.
Freedom and democracy and great stuff are hidden under
one of these shells. You can't see them, but they're there.
Okay. Now I'm going to turn this first shell over.
Nothing under this one.
Wait ha! Wait, what? Wait wah-wah!
Okay. Now I'm going to turn this second shell over
Okay. Now I'm going to turn this second shell over
First thing you'll notice: the great stuff.
Then later the pain the vacancy like always
only different this time
Then later the pain the vacancy like always
only different this time
speedier like
the intention to deceive converging with the need
to be deceived
at vanishing point. Still the Indian
will walk his horse out to the butte
every day
and the tourists will pay
"good money"
to getthat perfect picture.
*BI = Before Internet (vernacular)
