From ''Poem for the Living''

Squads of tanks and soldiers
pass crowds in business casual
to invade overseas for oil.

Under a Saturday March sun
parading draws shoppers and children
as dogs lope through nubile buds....

The workweek rehauls itself
onto buses, subways, into cars,
as elsewhere populations flashbulb to dust.
