Free selections from So Long As The People Are People By Jeff Blackman

So Long As Power Is Pointed The following are excerpted from So Long As The People Are People. The chapbook features 15 poems. This preview includes 3 for your viewing pleasure. The book is available from Apt 9 Press (contact details at the end of this presentation). Thanks for sticking around!

How to Kiss the Prime Minister First consider the old meaning of make love, its object consensus.

How to Kiss the Prime Minister Toe the line betwixt your eyes; Give him your confidence; Dread not the obvious.

His lips as soft as your grandfather’s!

How to Kiss the Prime Minister While you do, slip your thumbs in his pockets. Ask yourself, what’s he got? Some keys; A wallet (unlikely); Thighs like anyone else.

Addiction First there is the justification First there is the fatalism First there is the denying I was every so upset about this.

Poem for C.D. Howe My recent hang up on utility has supplanted any interest I’ve had in the good. It’s been so long since the Opposition hounded you “What’s a million, Clarence?” The amateur partisans with their seasonal pragmatism finally buy your big picture, cost- benefits Karma Trip. What are the poems only I read (and reread) but war wails?

I want to give you a poem with the facts checked.

Poem for C.D. Howe, continued I fear it’s too late Clarence: – Anyone I’ve met has had to make some sense of me. I know my dreams are filled with familiars but, G.D., C.D. Howe – tell me from your cosmic station: – How’ve I done in my former lovers dreams?

In Tamara’s do I dig her for answers? In Ang’s do I stand astride the exit? In Mary Woolworth’s am I man or still thirteen? In Nat’s have we kissed?

“Ah, how I impress myself, my fantasies announced, but believe me this is better. Since I’ve told my wife, she’s told me twice about her dreams about me. In the second some former roommate harangued her, “You’re not good enough for him! He deserves better!” but Clarence, between the Audience and us, we know a dreamt word is a worthless as a dreamt dollar.”
