exposing a flawed and repellant ideology ideology
ideology of Chomsky’s vanguard of judeophobia
passing gas squatting on his hobby horse
passing gas the breath of the tapeworm blowing kisses
belching platitudes to his cronies blowing kisses
along the digestive tract of the linguist
the tapeworm looping its segments
looping a noose of Jewish self-hatred an Uncle Noam
relaxing his sphincter his flat line monotone
