CAPTAIN FACTOR X

u sit at your computer
recently knighted
at the center of a vortex
of groceries, socialization, physicians, teachers
cops and cunt and cock and revolution and redemption
ready to poke your little head in all over

a reluctant revolutionary
aware the sewer system goes down and millions die

a buffalo soldier
in the war for america*

in your medicine bag:
as much tv as humanly possible
comics books concerts doobies dogs cd's dvd's dj's and cats  mothers and fathers and lovers
they are your powers
make strings of beads
named for your parents statesmen  children lovers passions
wear them proudly around your neck
explain them to all who are wise enough to listen

pray at the keyboard oblivous and intent
not caring/knowing they are for real/for real keys

stand and point
at the toxic dumps real and spiritual
in your neighborhoods
in yourselves
report the problems to a crusading warrior monk
we are now armed and ready and lusting
to serve and protect and party and get us all laid
