This is the operative statement. The others are inoperative.

A Sad Statement
it's a sad statement
on the 'land of the free',
when the fights at Wal-Marts
during black Friday rushes,
received more news coverage
than the abuse of those protesting
for the rights of America's workers....
a sad statement.....
enough said!

A Poem Is A Play In Mood
A poem is a play in mood
A possible position in feeling
An exercise in trying out one's thought
In another direction-
A poem is not the single final statement of all one feels
But only one statement of one possibility one might feel -
A poem is a play in mood
And a game of the mind
And a possibility -
I play these lines down now
As if this statement too were a game
Which means far less and far more
Than its own meaning can seem.

Suggestions
I describe an innuendo or suggestion,
She must inquire further and farthest.
Countless generations consult too demandingly,
Inoculating suggesters, or protecting the few.
Inoperative sentences being made are cancelled
Forming ranks of devils and loathsome few.
The commander of innuendoes was repugnant
As iniquitous people who endangered even a devil.
Suggest me to contrive a belonging
For my onself, the very factor to let the familiar.

Yesterday NPR fired me for telling the truth. The truth is that I worry when I am getting on an airplane and see people dressed in garb that identifies them first and foremost as Muslims. This is not a bigoted statement. It is a statement of my feelings, my fears after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 by radical Muslims.

Statement of Fact
I have been stating a fact,
I have been stating that oil is rife
In a country like ours, rising above the rest
Of the world.
The petroleum has conquered and I can save it.
What to tell? What does distinguish it from beer?
Beer has best properties and wine is a speciality.
We are driving with our hoods on,
But it is statement after statement
On someone’s list.
I have not speeded or driven or maddened.
Rather my peace has shrivelled from disaster
And that is mad.

A hundred years ago, of course, the question that the German Composers' Co-operative asked itself sounded a lot more fundamental: How do you create a fair share for those who ensure that works can actually be performed at all?

Whatever life may really be, it is to us an abstraction: for the word is a generalised term to signify that which is common to all animals and plants, and which is not directly operative in the inorganic world.
