the lurid light from
Fu Manchu's eyes
includes rendering
cinematic
the portion of
resistance known
as political or
The Man

we chomp
on something
reflexive, possibly
the robe of
understanding,
or likelier a
stable world
view

we challenge a
crash test, in
which information
rode to its
doom, yet
finally we accede
to proven
capacities and
iron clad all
the way

the poem
in its virtue
tells
Sir Denis
Nayland-Smith
to precipitate,
period, just
precipitate

our lovelorn
sense of country
and union and
national
breakwater
pounds a certain
thing into shape

that shape loses
the poem but
directs much
that is directed

we need sameness
as we age

falling over
latter day landings
with good cinema cues
until we can die
in piece
with the heroes
of the story

all such stems
from some
clause
in the patrician

variable haymaker
from classic Fu Manchu
who rouses
antipathy
to frothy heights of
clouds above Nepal
and the peeing chant
of Chinese troops
newly conditioning
Tibet for tomorrow

allegiance sputters
with the crystal
browbeating drug
of cuffed oldster
looking waylaid
in the middle
of a sentence

some stains remain,
which we can
identify later
