Battle Cry For The Elongated Arc of The Sun
[Comments on The Mango War] 

New plans 
for the war:
mango trees
everywhere-
universal 
poverty! 
No more 
employment
or uniforms:
no more soldiers
no more sales
no more commissions
no more rent
Only the sun 
stolen gasoline
the cars of your dreams
will be abandoned!

Broken radios 
made of coconuts 
pick up crazy music-
the local kids play
on rubber bands, 
old oil barrels:
The computers,
powered by bicycles.

the poetry will survive
sketched out 
on recycled dollar bills;
our love will know 
no expensive dinners
only inexpensive nibbles
on your ears 
as the roof collapses
to give us 
our sacred privacy.

The revolution has changed!
And now there is no one
to fight but the fighters!

Down with the struggle!
Viva La Mango Tree!
