A Manifesto for the 50th
#20
But now do they think of those days.

The tape recorder mike was in my hand and the man in the Chicago restaurant answered, "WhatdoIthink! What do I think! I'll tellya what I thinkI think they oughta be in jail! That's what I think!"

This is a green room where a premise is the carpet. The carpet is blood red.

Out there they have a vague idea, and that a hopeless distillation.

Sawing on the cello, they bought the Kool-Aid and forgot the Who

Bill Ayers was in the street that night, and Rahm Emanuel was not the mayor

Nixon was the president but it might as well have been DBA OBAMA

It is the Matrix and they are on soma

Soma other planet where troubles melt like lemon drops

They worry about cell phone apps not that they are run through a maze

by Washington's Mengeles

I talk to people and they start not knowing who Kennedy was

And I can part knowing they know he was murdered by men still powerful

But that is one-on-one

I question whether this is a 1960's America

Where a human sea expresses zeitgeist

Dallas is a sewer

Larry Dunkel crossdresses as an historian

But at closing time is always Lady MacBeth at the washstand

(oh send me another Church Lady email)

Charles has nailed 99 Theses to the cathedral door and they dare not confront it

Mark might unfurl a banner but the tactical police wouldn't appreciate it

I am privileged to be among the most articulate minds of my age

They could webcast a video presentation combining

The coolest jazz

The most wrenching Chopin competition

The soccer match against the Pamplona bulls

On Big Screen Imax 3D SurroundSound

Charles commissioned the T-shirt
