1. archives for upside down trees
my alien reads Al Jazeera comments
like love letters while I squeeze oranges
for breakfast, a Kenyan scientist has
invented new protocols for diagnosing
cancer, thin muslin cloth covers my glass
preventing pith from contaminating the
liquid, missives kill Palestinians faster than
doorways, cameras pick up knives to join
the upraising, everybody in the living room
is smiling at the war imagery on the
screen. Before Israel Arab land was barren
& useless now is real the highest producer
of citrus fruits in the world. I drop my
glass. Quick, someone blame the juice!
