Book XCVII: Just CHENEY

Who knows better Who he is?
Who knows Where all the bodies
were really buried? Just CHENEY.
Book XCVIII: Our Stalin, CHENEY

loyal to him, proving steel's

Book XCIX: CHENEY shuffles
CHENEY shuffles his worn,
marked deck of face-cards
of himself, thinking aloud:
My next administration
will be totally trustworthy,
like Scooter, loyal to me

a $100 stamp with my face
on it & then a $100,000-bill,
with my face on it, & then
an invisible CHENEY tank.
Book C: Finally, CHENEY
Look upon him, ye who would-be
mighty & revisit the District’s suites
where he was once walled & re-vered.
Finally, CHENEY we’ve had enuf of;
haven't we seen B&W TV's McCarthy
spinning filamentary power from lies
rewoven with pretension, unravelling
week after week after week? Only his
pre-convinced re-enjoy his re-arguing
unvarnished semi-truths, his wooden
image semi-cybernetic, quasi-alive
among us, automatically speaking
his message, grimly us hectoring...
Book CI: Wh@t Coloss@l B@lls
Wh@t coloss@l b@lls
CHENEY must have 2
announce he’s all for

of states'-rights; can't
you see him smirking,
just waiting for Rush
2 denounce him as
as a closet liber@l?
