Impaired Peace Laureate

 


I like to hype people up, the police chief told me, celebrating

bachelor parties in inflatable naked women, ebullient and
quick to make friends, the long yellow sundress offered

to put in a good word, the mayor noted, little interaction

I’ve had with her it makes sense, several mixed drinks
took off her bikini top, look at this, you’ve got to see this,

citing pending litigation, rape or not rape, wearing surgical

masks against the sun, he must have been eating fries
with ketchup while the women waited outside El Penalito,

the loudness engulfing, known collectively as Keinemusik

forested with pines, just eleven months after he was awarded
the Nobel his forces weren’t strong enough, old grievances

spread, the U.S. Secretary of State said, how could we deny it?
