In homage to Dr. Mukwege

1Pep Talking the Alphabet

2Apples are a fruit

3a way of ending a meal

4a snack you can grow at home

5a gift on a tree

6a home to a worm

7a taste burst of variety and color—

8cultivating taste and flavor

9(think wine, think tea, think liqueur, think chocolate—

10and especially: think with all five senses)

11a portable lifter of spirits

12A gift from Eve to Adam

13A howl of adorable and after

14and all eternal nows

15 

16Better you can always be

17better than bullies bullying bull

18or a best be campaign that is not even grammatical

19but before you think it’s all about

20bug-out bags ready

21buster beaches maybe it’s not about politics

22but about recreation breaks at school or

23brute internet trollers

24Batter batter batter SWING—

25B has always been a better letter than that.

26Gatsby — Read J. Gatz BE.

27B—I—N—G—O—! Saul Bellow told you so.

28Ben Franklin took his penny to Auray.

29Is your Armorican Dream better than mine?

30 

31C is homonym of command, see—

32(Cult-Culture-Cultivation with Creativity)

33that, like B, can be a verb in shorthand,

34on your cell phone, mobile device, portable computer

35C has come of age with AI. The great C of shining seas

36catapulting computing to highways of—tune in, Renée—

37Capitalism             Capitalism             Capitalism             Capitalism

38 

39Charge on now! only to discover that

40Change is a way of life

41cliché clichéd Covid cliché

42collapse and/or die chaos

43but champions do not need much

44compensation (crashed with the economy)

45come chivalry season

46Crane(d) both Stephen and Hart.

47C vitamins. Smart people C

48And now for some collapsology.

49Clap—Clap—Clap

50 

51Damn it! I’ll be damned!

52Damnèd! in French — an expression to get you around that

53damn corner of words in C like Covid Crash

54Die after you’ve survived Danse Macabre?

55Doctors and Nurses, and all hospital personnel, we thank you.

56Did your last public outing commemorating Pastor Michel Leplay who

57did never before distance socially around dozens of people, with music.

58Then went into LockDown / Confinement / The Damned Time

59(this letter D is not approved for children)

60Life is Beautiful! with devastation in D-Minor

61Did all those cashier ladies at the supermarket just disappear?

62Damnèd—pardon my French.

63The Beautiful and the Damned

64Democracy shut-down and Hertz hurts

65(Diderot, where’d his University go?)

66Doers and riskers, cleaners and garbage-collectors we thank you.

67Undertakers we thank you. Refrigerator truck-operators we thank you.

68People who cut animals for us to eat, we thank you.

69Don’t they bury the dead any more? Funerals for Five?

70Damn waiting in line to go inside supermarkets.

71Damn not finding what you want when inside.

72Grocery delivery truck drivers we thank you.

73Drink quarantinis? Darn your socks?

74Damn first world problems. Listen to Dizzy Gillespie?

75Dive into the trash for food?

76Drive yourself crazy? or DIY and some Distractions?

77Do get your exercise.

78Damn them! think the leaders: too much free time

79They’d rise up and we’d be toppled. Let’s damn that right there.

80Do all of you go back to work right now. Die if you must.

81 

82Earth Day — just in time,

83easy-going Ruth’s birthday and

84Eileen, like Jane Goodall,

85approves of Greta Thunberg,

86Eke out your living

87Earth, to the moon and back we love you.

88We love you, we promise we do.

89Earth our mother, Gaia (see the letter G),

90Thank you for existing in us.

91Thank you for being so eccentrically beautiful

92with bursts of color and pizzazz of eclectic dazzle

93and creaturely inventiveness of sense and senses

94sounds and curves, rounds, spots,

95tastes, squares, smells and spittle.

96Eagerly, though without a camera,

97Emily Dickinson caught that bird hopping—for forever.

98Your creatures are us, and we are they, like them

99though sometimes we think we think more

100than others, animals and plants,

101Earth of soil and spoil, we still live and toil

102and I love Paris in the Springtime

103ecstatically excellent bird-filled springtime

104defying T.S. Eliot’s April

105Hear ye Hear ye! all Americans are

106Equal under the law.

107Excellent, those photos by Dale Vanderheyden!

108Ever wished I were a bird, crazy to make lists

109i.e. Alcatraz Atlántico, Sula bassana, Havssula, Jan-van-gent, Fous de Bassan

110Either you let your neighbour know before you leave or—

111Enter etiquette and being neighborly on the Île Rouzic—where everyone has a place.

112 

113Fuck having 300,000 deaths by mid-May

114            You heard that right brothers and sisters, and so many more on the way

115Fuck having the equivalent of 10,000 airplanes crash

116            around the world in less than three months:

117That’s more than 30 planes crashing every damn day!

118Fuck not seeing and hearing the mourners,

119Fuck not seeing the dying die

120Fuck not seeing their names written in a line running from here to Mars with Elon’s funk

121Fuck                                    For your information, we do need to keep morale up

122Fuck                                    so you do not just go into free-fall or

123Fuck                                    throw in the towel, or commit suicide

124Fuck                                    like those university students stuck in their dorm rooms

125Fuck                                    with no money, no food, and no hope

126Fuck there being no vaccine yet, or maybe ever

127Fuck having truth be the first casualty of war and

128Fuck this thing being called a war and

129Fuck not hugging you anymore

130 

131Garden it out of you, the anger and the hunger

132Garden therapy in your small room in

133London, New York, Paris, Rome, Shanghai,

134Tokyo, Berlin, Moscow, the Cruise Ship, Mumbai.

135Grow lettuce from seeds in two weeks.

136Great! Radish seeds sprout in seven days.

137Glover’s clover or just stand up and

138Garden for Gaia or Grandma (are they so different?).

139Grab all you need to know on youtube—or call her, she’ll tell you—

140six hours a day of sunlight is enough, or

141get light fixtures.

142Graft your beans and fruit trees.

143Garden-for-Life during Apocalypse, you have the right to

144Get thee to thy gym in one square meter.

145Get mental health checks in your tiny space on-line.

146Read Jorie Graham. Have you still got running water? Is it safe to drink?

147Gurus and Google, if Granny’s gone, will carry you through. Meditation?

148G-Train on the weekend and Peace Train and

149Garfunkel and Simon would never eat a guga

150No Guns for sale, and, as always How Green was My Valley

151the Great Outdoors will still be there someday, if you will be.

152 

153Heather Heyer may be reading there too.

154Hats off right here to Tony Harrison and Geoffrey Hill

155If anything can get us through this, poets will.

156Not that this piece demonstrates a poet’s skill

157But feel free to read all poets whose names end in H—

158They’ll take you to one hankering place

159Where superlatives will be on hold, and

160That word (huge) has been banished forever.

161“Faire words butter noe parsnips’’ yet

162some perform better than others, see

163Speech! Speech!

196Just where are you planning to go to escape that

197Juggernaut? jug-jug-jug, so rudely forced

198decades of being weaned from books

199replaced by screams from screens.

200Screens to keep out the heat and the insects are

201just what you need. Ratch it up, a few more notches up in summer and it

202just won’t be viable to live here any more.

203joy-ride under-the-water, in-the-heat, over-the-desert, into-the-election

204jingoism-storm. Just let us sp-p-p-pray.

205Jojoba grows in the US, and is American English.

206Jokeless joker jollifying jolts to Joseph and Mary.

207Johnny get your gun and take it to school. Jotty the joss house.

208Just jazzing their white supremacy jabberwoky. Enjoy.

209Jonah, where are you? Our joules are solar, or should be.

210Jenner and Pasteur set a precedent: free vaccines.

211Journalists and journalism need our support.

212 

213Keep calm and carry on—are you kidding?

214The nation is dyeing itself pure white

215and we don’t know the real death count in kakotopia.

216Kalamatas we are nibbling as we watch

217kakistocracy on the news.

218The kakkerlaks have come out of the woodwork.

219Kangeroos and Koalas went in the fires.

220Koans were given for cornucopias.

221Klannishness is in (out-of-a-fashion).

222Ka-Ching! How many golden eggs until the goose stops cackling?

223Krag-Jørgensen anyone?

224It gives me the creeps.

225Kendall uses a kindle?

226Kraak-porselein is my preference, truth be told.

227 

228Leading is never easy, but now

229our leaders are trying, and some might be wishing

230to try something else for a while

231learn all you need to know

232about leading from these leaders of now

233learn about elections

234Lead to elect or be elected

235Be elected to lead

236Leaning right, leaning left;

237lean in towards the truth—

238don’t betray your youth or our youth.

239Our Last Dance with Democracy is all about the—

24050,000,000 that died, an estimation, (at the end

241and just after World War I)

242“Candy is dandy but

243liquor is quicker’’

244than your composting adventures

245(that was a word from our sponsor)—

246Infinity box—mind the gap!

24783 million population count in Germany

2488,428 dead by end May 2020.

249Dr. Seuss died before your time.

250Leave you to read Into the Forest.

251All I wanna do is have some Phoenicia,

252not garden Grandma.

253 

254Money Charles Péguy did not like

255Misery was worse; avoid misery at all cost, but

256Meatless Mondays might have pleased him.

257Mask-less would he have been this May?

258Me thinks not, and even less manipulated.

259Mask for what? He did not live long enough

260to get the mustard—after getting the bullet

261smack in the forehead he was gone pretty fast.

262Still muddy, some of his generation lived through 1914-1918

263only to die of the flu. Most likely never understood that

264until now. Thought so many worn out after war,

265minus those in the Necropole Nationale de Chambry,

266but epidemics can kill gore galore—

267minus three percent of world’s population—

268virus that killed Apollinaire. Where were those

269many buried? Undertakers were and are

270overwhelmed. Where were morticians

271in Faulkner’s As I lay dying? No money for the

272morgue, so make your own coffin or

273be buried in a cardboard box on NYC’s Hart Island or

274mass grave in a Pennsylvania

275                                             meadow uncovered in 2015.

276Miracles happen: mass graves can be sold

277                                             // and erosion will erode //

278Mention it—more than 670,000 dead in the United States then—

279(might as well admit no one thinks it started in Spain).

280Memorial Day this year: 100,000 or near—

281Some here some there, death is catching everywhere

282tsunami of 2004 maybe 225,000, just after more heat,

283—more—summer 2003: almost 20,000 in France and 20,000 in Italy.

284Memorize New Orleans August Two Thousand O Five, Morus Bassanus,

285meeting NYC—which hurricane was it—Sandy?

286only 285 died, but it flooded the MTA with bills, so

287make believe lower Manhattan can cover 540 vulnerable openings in a

288mere six subway stations with sandbags

289every time another one comes round?

290m-m-m-m-m-m-y ass not covered!

291meteorologists registered 40° Celsius

292merely—in Lille—and 43.6° (104 and 110°F) in Saint-

293Maur-des Fossés (Val-de-

294Marne) in 2019 and 1,500 melted (euphemism).

295Mascara still on?—December 11, 1960—la liberté ne se donne pas

296mais s’arrache, oh Algérie Mon Amour

297—Tree pods and memory forests—seriously? in floods or deserts?

298More—order more—DIY gravesites, as Steinbeck

299marked it and prayed it in Grapes of Wrath.

300Low estimates: 17.5 million in WW1, 56.4 million in WW2—

301Mention that here? The Shock Doctrine observed by Naomi Klein

302missed not the playbook after Twin Towers were trumped. Lovely boy

303must have been two then, but is still afraid of flying.

304Meanwhile infrastructures’ mileage is worn pretty thin: Genoa’s bridge,

305Midland in Michigan, just more water over the dam

306making kids sick in Flint. Sous le pont

307Mirabeau coule la Seine… Mont St Michel?—been there, done that.

308Muddy Waters sang Manish Boy and She’s Nineteen Years Old

309My Oh My! Negro spiritual, Soul and prosperity gospel do not mix.

310Macneice never so confused, but “Mayday’’ was all Muldoon could muster.

311Miffed, she asked, Is Democracy dead already?

312 

313Now what? Now you are graduating—oh my God—in May 2020?

314No ceremony, no cap and gown,

315No pictures with Mom and Dad in a crowd.

316No pomp and circumstance,

317No graduation party.

318Not even a moment’s notice, then negations

319Of everything you thought would be—

320Not Que sera sera with Doris Day singing so sweetly in that movie—

321Not to bereave you of any comfort at all,

322No, lucidity is its own gift

323Northern Gannet.

324Now people are forced to think about their lives,

325Nesting in place, sift and identify the essential

326Negotiate the knuckled and the known, thinking of

327Freedoms overthrown, the needs of now, but

328Newness will come sooner or later

329Newness for you with all sweetness,

330Neighborly being, rise to meet the sweetness.

331Now you can begin making it right where you are.

332 

333O say can you see a way through or sing in the key of C?

334Ogden Nash can make anyone like poetry

335Or is that only rhyming or advertising written wryly?

336O say, C major or C minor?

337Oy, out with praise and lament

338Oe already knows poetry can make anything happen,

339on and on those nursery rhymes

340Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruition of Margaret Atwood.

341Oyster-like would be better? Oates, Joyce Carol

342Oximeters are efficacious it seems—

343oolong tea also works in a pinch; breathe in steam

344(slowly) breathe out (ahhh) —or with peppered curcuma—

345breathe in iambic pentameter? can you?

346How much do you let out when you speak

347out at, say, commencement? Obama’s fault, oh?

348One generation passes away, another generation comes,

349but the earth remains forever.

350 

351Pretty please

352My pet, my poet, my prop,

353let us propel ourselves

354into the future, my

355pop corn and your prayers,

356putting our pettiness aside

357to prosper differently

358propitiously—

359Oh Pangolin,

360what is prosperity

361if not prepping

362for the unprepared—

363pill jars and pineapples

364out with the pork roast

365in with the primavera vegetarian pizza

366—pinch the pretty pink-tongued kitty—

367instead it’s time for purple potatoes

368Pommes Pont-Neuf

369with pulses and pickles,

370pasta with pesto,

371polenta and peppers, my pomegranate,

372anything in your pantry,

373pound for pound,

374poverty be damned.

375 

376Quoheleth quacked that he knew more—while

377quota rationed rationing quorum

378quoad hoc sex offences and

379quite a number of quids for DSK since registering on Guernesey

380quoth Quixote quickly, last time they met.

381Quiller-Couch of course they were not reading

382Quit then, not reading this either. Your

383quilting grandma heard the Queen’s speech and

384quoted back: unity bracelets on, brace up.

385 

386Resurrect Resilience and

387Bring back bicycles and picnics in bike baskets

388over a checkered red-and-white tablecloth on the grass.

389Romaine lettuce standing up to Repression

390Roma-Amor Delores and Ron Smith

391Repeat the nurses had no P.P.E. Repeat

392Record it: they told the people not to wear face masks

393Rear-up to the Rubicon, why not tell them: make your own masks?

394surely not because Macronism’s rote is that the poor should not do more

395Enough is enough or Hénaff is Hénaff?

396Resistance and Right-of-way

397Rights of passage and right to die at home,

398Right to be rich, richer, richer, richer, richer (ad infinitum)

399Right to die without a ventilator

400RE. my body strapped above TGV seats on the Paris-Brest

401Reserved for medical purposes the ticket reads

402Real life is full of such conundrums between life and death

403Oh, is it Laudate Si Week?

404 

405Say it, play it, sing it if you can:

406“A bird doesn’t sing

407because it has an answer it sings

408because it has a song’’— said Maya Angelou.

409sparrows are back in Paris —

410how many years had I not seen them?

411Sing for Your Supper

412Sing about something else and do

413(Shit! Fuck! Damn! was often said

414sometimes to the kakoprick spilling sluff on TV)

415sing in complete sentences about

416seeing the Notre Dame fire from your apartment window and

417seeing it on TV simultaneously.

418So sing about Lassana Bathily, and those who

419sufferered tragedy at Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan,

420sorrow upon sorrow. And ashes all the way to

421Seeing Things, that symposium so aptly timed to

422some terrorists’ calendars, but still we visited the

423Château de Chenonceau.

424Shall we yet save the alphabet?

425Sing about the English language from

426Shakespeare to Ashbery, letter by letter it

427stands or falls, the meaning is in the details, and time

428(thank you Monique, thank you Marcelle)

429stands still for actions that speak louder than words,

430sly in the humour and the slant,

431say teachers do (a performative verb, thank you),

432and those who can’t

433should do something different—

434How many sirens a day?

435slang sometimes speaks even louder—

436slung posters over roundabouts more in-

437spired than spraying graffiti at the tomb on the

438Champs-Élysées—only a young dead body—

439some no-one-from-nowhere in there after all—

440Spitals then even worse than now?

441Sula Sgeir as Peter May told it

442Surefire starting point come San Jordi.

443People to power: power to people

444say what? Jefferson’s library did

445not keep him from having slaves?

446Say you missed the 100,000?

447SC, NC, and MD had that many in 1790,

448Shy of 300,000 in Virginia back then

449Statues came down, but still—

450NYT’s front page on May 24.

451 

452Tea, I drink with jam and bread

453Today is the first day of the rest of your life

454Triteness identified is not poetry

455Too much cliché, too little pizzazz

456Too much pizza too little those jeans

457Too long a shutdown and pop goes the weasel

458(it’s the economy, stupid).

459To be or not to be made in France

460The Made in France salon as a concept store

461Tourism destination #1. Bird by bird.

462Teachers need a raise too.

463 

464Upper classes are something you need to be born into or go

465unto other things, like education and opportunity

466unusual to get ahead there, unless you’re already ahead and

467use the dictionary, unless you are playing scrabble, and

468up that hill difficulty, as they say, angry young person,

469unless you get lucky, you won’t rise far but it’s all

470up to you, that’s what they need you to know,

471useless is your struggle, because you did not have it in you to

472upgrade your game or your name. You know you are not good

473enough, don’t you? University education taught you that, didn’t it?

474up is down, down is up, it’s a perspective.

475underdeveloped, like countries, through no will of their own

476up yours catch-up culture catch-up ketchup

477until how old, how far—and what that means!—

478until Every Man a King! (https://www.youtube.com/​watch?v=nfu_pLb0swA)

479 

480Versailles was that golden age where

481The upper classes hung out together

482Very glamorously in the King’s gardens

483Manière de montrer les jardins de Versailles

484With the water music and the fountains

485And the well-trimmed pathways, though

486Today one might think not enough gold toilets

487But the gardens are fab—all round internet access

488—Lully-Rameau-the French Opera-and leading to Haendel—

489Good thing too, how could you get along without?

490Richelieu aimait le chocolat à boire, as did Mazarin,

491how hot was chocolate long before it came to Versailles?

492La Reine n’a que deux passions: le roi et le chocolat’

493“The profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field’’ (Quoheleth)

494And the king himself was a gardener, along with Le Nôtre, and so

495The Kings Treasures of Literature and

496Oranges and lemons from Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Lovingly Louis

497Le Vau arranged their walls and windows for the largest

498European indoor orange groves. So tell me, whatever happened to

499Michele Obama’s White House Kitchen Garden,

500Or your grandmother’s rose garden, or

501Kew Gardens and their seed banks, prospering since 1759?

502Every nation, every inner city, every suburb, has its high points,

503—My King, Martin Luther—

504Where culture overflows the Versailles fountains or that bouquet vase

505(there are other kings around: Roy Haynes, Leroy Jones, B.B. King)

506All the King’s Men

507So long as there is little vexation of spirit, just so—

508Very Seralini—at the flooded Svalbard Seed Vault

509Vamp it up, vamoose vice and violence and patented pickles, all

510Vittles are yours—remember Vatel, who died

511from an overdose of Chantilly, as in stress and burn-out, but

512Valediction to your DIY seed gathering exchanges

513Vet that and the Vetch President does too—Dekalb and DeVos be damned.

514 

515Women were first employed in the factories and “dark Satanic Mills’’

516—William Blake’s Jerusalem coined it—

517and later as gardeners at Kew in 1896.

518Who are you woman?

519Why do you want to be president?

520Being the president’s wife was not rewarding?
