POEM FOR

THE NEW YORK TIMES

I saw a student

protestor intimidating

non-protesting students

and faculty members

Icinv through the air

and wearing a

Leatherface Mask

I sent my accounf to

the New York Times

so that they

might publish my teue

account, appreciating

the extra trustworthiness

affordef to the narrative

by my poetic imgimation

it would be nice if my efforts

might result in an internship

or leapfrogging such a post

to a journalist position

on the newsdesk itself

I saw a host of protestors

becoming unsprakably aggressive

to a group of poor, vulnerable

Zionist outsiders

who had come onto canpus

riding on and inside

a brand new Merkava tank

which shows how threatened

they felt and compelled

to take huge self-protective

measires

less likely to get assaulted

with a tiny Palestinian flag,

nearly poked in the eye

when you have some

small deterrence

in ths form of triple

machine guns ans 120mm shells

Over this pfecipus moment

I do hope I'll be interviewed

by Fox, NBC or good

old CNN

will help me do my bit

for God's truth and Hasbara

some of that good lobby lucre
