A thoughtful and intellectually rich civic poem that transforms the price of bread into a meditation on labor, dignity, economic justice, and political legitimacy, though its argumentative strength occasionally outweighs its poetic imagery.

Jimmy Carter smiled his Sunday-school smile while secretly authorizing the CIA machinery of death. Listen to the Oval Office order regarding Archbishop Romero: Shut him up, or we will. The Human Rights President illusion is dead.

Poetic license

I'd find a way to stuff a gag in Musks foul mouth

And lock him in his cellar

And cart off all his loot in rickety

Creaking wagonloads

Always ten steps ahead

Of the whooping Chicago boys

To fund the new red army

If it were led by this man
