Dead Planet LXI
Dead Planet LXI ___________________________
Scifaiku Postcards
1
Sushi bodies drift—
Dying Tsunami Planet
Fukushima death
Mississippi noir—
Katrina BP Planet
Poisoned Gulf Delta
My head floats downstream—
Severed from its lost body
Grinning skull with teeth
2
Emerging upward—
Invisible mushroom cloud
Like a huge cypress
Dark seaweeds beneath—
The coastal waters offshore
Lifting human arms
Misshapen pale hands—
Reaching up to protect their
Waterlogged children
3
Evil blue X-rays—
Imperceptible to us
Invisible death
Moving thru the walls—
Thru condos & skyscrapers
Tokyo wasteland debris
All the bankers flee—
Executive leer jets fly
Away to Hong Kong
4
Radio death dreams—
Float behind my dead gone eyes
X-rated movies
Isotopes eating—
Slowly away inside my brain
Lobotomy Lite
Chernobyl sheen—
My complexion turns toadskin
One eye on floor
5
The cyanide pill—
TEMPCO gives all us workers
Curls my bitter lips
GE on the phone—
“Your medical benefits
Have been denied you”
Dead open eyeballs—
Gazing out out the window
Nagasaki sky

The Last Samurai

Goodbye Tokyo—
The Yakuza youth time-warps
In front of my eyes
Then I realize—
He is the last samurai
Spectre in the fog
The cesium cloud—
Eastward over the US
Bringing back the war
Nagasaki death—
Hiroshima mon amour
Pacific journey
The dark atomics—
Enola Gay Oregon
Karma for the son…
Rising sun revenge—
Intergenerational
Baby boomers die

Spray me with Ubik—
Quick before Fukushima
Goes kipple on me…
PDK clever—
Just like Stanislav Lem &
Dystop Thomas Disch
Mr. Tagomi—
Falls backwards thru time again
Throws I Ching & sees
Abendsen’s young son—
The Man in the High Castle
The Nebenwelt Kid
Berlin Kommandos—
Back with bad news from alt.welt
Dandelion glitch…
Abendsen is back—
The Grasshopper Is Heavy
Nebenwelt ist synch
Dead Planet LVIII
Dead Planet LVIII
Fukushima Haiku
Each raindrop is death—
Nagasaki karma’s back
Time for some blow-back
Across Pacific—
Hiroshima mon amour
Here in Seattle
Puget Sound seaweed—
Radioactive salmon
Poisoned trout & clams
Like the BP Gulf—
Dead shrimp, pelicans, turtles
Blowouts, meltdowns, death
Worse than Katrina—
Redneck Riviera gone
Florida beaches…
How lucky I thought—
Here in the pristine Northwest
Not yet a sewer
But cesium’s here—
The Invisible Plague
See how I’m glowing?
Godzilla’s Revenge—
Rampaging thru Tokyo
Bankers are fleeing
Tainted water, milk—
The People are left to rot
Dying Nuke Victims
First the Earthquake comes—
Just like down there in Haiti
Our Troops standing by
As if they knew it—
Was going to happen
Ships waiting offshore
New Count Frankensteins—
Their Castle of HAARP machines
“Ready to Rumble, boyz?”
