White power.(Poem)

Dec 01, 2007; Jackson, Major ... <Pre> As it happened, I was twirling a cauliflower floret, Lost in Lewis's wardrobe of pallid trees, Considering my country's longing for homogenized milk & bags of tube socks from Walmart Which felt cancerous. What came to me like a surprising Snow fall in the ...

Dec 01, 2007; Kinsella, John ... <Pre> She won't smile the smile of incineration. They won't sing the song of disintegration. Together sprung, noise music, see-through mirrors.
