Pity the sad legacy of Barack Obama
“Bernie Sanders gallantly tried to generate a leftwing populism but he was crushed by Clinton and Obama in the unfair Democratic party primaries. So now we find ourselves entering a neofascist era: a neoliberal economy on steroids, a reactionary repressive attitude toward domestic “aliens”, a militaristic cabinet eager for war and in denial of global warming.

Stars: A Poem On The Miracle of Light and Fusion
is to a star what a heartbeat
is to a man,
the most basic element
of existence, burning burning hot,

a melting love, a fusing love,
a uniting love, an orgasmic love
tied to everything in deep converse
merged with all in a universe
