How?
by Elizabeth Snader
How do you
Ask the head of
promotions,
Throw a trance rave
Where the acid heads
Are guarded by rainbows
and stuffed animals;
Where police sell for
profit,
And buyers don’t get
busted,
And dealers give XTC
For free all day;
Where DJs are smart
And rhymes the vessel
They sow knowledge;
Where GoGos keep clothes
Covering their goodies,
And men
Are respectful to women?
Does anyone know
What I’m trying to say?
Says Minesweepa.

How
do you
BY KABIR
How do you,
Asks the chief of police,
Patrol a city
Where the butcher shops
Are guarded by vultures;
Where bulls get pregnant,
Cows are barren,
And calves give milk
Three times a day;
Where mice are boatmen
And tomcats the boats
They row;
Where frogs keep snakes
As watchdogs,
And jackals
Go after lions?
Does anyone know
What I’m talking about?
Says Kabir.
