Herr come Count Ghouliani

by BAR poet-in-residence Raymond Nat Turner

“9-11 cigarettes, loose—

Got blood orange juice!

I got bone fragment,

Desiccated flesh,

Thermite-laden dust

Best 9-11 products,

In God we trust!”

“Step right up,

Get your 9-11 shirts and caps

9-11 speeches, photos, maps

Controlled demolition DVDs

Why, I even sell 9-11 PhDs

Simulated first responder cancers

Building 7… religious answers…

Get W’s 9-11 speech thru bullhorn

XXX-rated war-profiteer porn—

“Bad Guys with Box-cutters” song

Making Halliburton, Boeing strong!

Step right up my Freedom 

Fry friends, this is where

The moral arc bends—

I am Count Ghouliani

With my 9-11 cart

Transforming hustling

Into a ghoulish art…

When I am not sucking

Blood from ‘black on

Black crime—’ in on the

State’s dime, Ghouliani 

Time, I live on my 9-11

Royalties-Il Duce loyalties…

I sell fine 9-11 red and white wine

In old bottles from along the Rhine

I’ll soon have my Charlie Hebdo line…

Yes, my 9-11 cart is a goldmine—

Sir, step out of line and read the sign:

I don’t do the Congo or Palestine!!
