the Chinese Yangtze River
dolphin is declining
it's white skin
down to a single individual
the Final Solution with
it's esoteric language gives way
to political correctness
down to the bare microdot
public servants in their
anally sterile bathrooms
have been impersonating Hitler
in the mirror, again
in a letter marked top secret
i detail, statistics and liquidations,
in correlation to our own school of poetry
(yours & mine)
in all it's life - challenged legalese
your signature is all it needs.
