Master of the Universe
If all our enemies were so
identified
We could search them out
With seals
And erasers
For blotting out
Or with blotters
For preserving
Memories
Of what
They did
When
Or we could take their
Power away
Entirely
As the thought arose
In the pictures
As they appear before you
I see enemies
And dis-integrators
And instigators
Have-nots
Too and haves
Who want more
And reversionists
Who want the past
The way the past [never]
Was
Or fearfulists
Who are afraid
Of the Future
Neutral on the present
They may have
Made a complete
Mess
Of the past
They are durable
Like insects
Like the Cimex lectularius*
In New York City
Or the mice in Jerusalem
Or the cats in Jerusalem
Who came to
Eat the mice
The cats now own the night
They are un-Conquerable
We have to be
Smarter
