Border Rag

The puddle washes the purple ink of "Hezbollah" from my feet,
I repeat, "Hezbollah," as a soporific chant,
To talk to the black veiled members of "Hezbollah,"
A women swim team posing for a team picture.

Drive back through Black Flash
To Israeli side, The Western Union Outfit;
Return with Mei Fun lunch,
Shredded wire for my stomach,
"Chinese Hezbollah."

To the ATM,
Limit three per day;
Withdraw the police spies chosen to lead war protests,
Withdraw the bombs bound for Israel,
Withdraw the respected seven-second delay for cutting out obscenities.
