 fishing for stars
in night's endless passing stream
needs the lightest touch

 so did you forget
that on the eleventh day
of inglorious september

secret foreign money
and fundamentalist

finally bore fatal fruit
to blow away the duly 
elected democracy
of Chile 
all in the name of freedom
and world trade

in your air conditioned towers

 September dusk
pepperoni clouds curl up
at the oven's edge
