Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
About this poem
Memories…Memories…Memories…Do I have total recall???Did I make suggestions which possibly might be construed as handing over the keys to the bottomless pit???Did I form 2 covenants at that time???With corporate America, the bettors, and A certain cartel which I shall not name…What of NAFTA???What of reusing rocket engines??? Shall I go on and on???I wonder who protested against ending smoking in the CA prison system due to constitutional issues???Yet the powers that be found a loophole to ban smoking…IF you want to get technical…The CA taxpayers did not vote to ban smoking in the prison system…Catch 22’s…But I’m sure it will be swept under the rug…I wonder who delved into my suggestions I made in prison in my learning logs???As if mea didn’t take my suggestion to legalize a certain product…So is the marker being called in on our little wager???Wasn’t the identity of said secret person who placed said wager an owner of land in Texas???Hey!!!What a coinkidink!!!I own 10 acres of land in Texas…But I am just a piss poor uneducated wanna be poet???What say ye Mary of thee 3???Is there honor among thieving pirates???And what of my rum???lol…I wonder IF thepoetryplace. com could have been AmericanHomeFoodsVacaville official corporate website??? And what of lite brite technology…Aka novéll or perfect office tech???And what of the doves??? more »
