Drunken Count Ghouliani took the fifth the 6th—low Barr last days of
Pompeo… (For Amiri)
I.
…’40s demand—30 years ago! Big Apple’s 1st Black
Mayor proposed civilian agency investigate police mis
conduct. Who brandished fully-loaded big lies? Who
spread 90-proof five alarm fires?
Who bussed bullies, Boers with bottles, badges and
Guns—to Murray Street bars—10,000-strong? Who
vomited them over barricades emblazoned: POLICE
LINE DO NOT CROSS? Who blocked the Brooklyn Bridge?
Who scribbled klan-ish caricatures whipping the ‘white’ mob
into a frenzy? Who fired automatic N-words, demoting the
mayor to “Washroom Attendant on crack?” Who brandished
Benevolent bigotry? Who fueled uncivil disobedience? Who
threatened thuggish terror? Who morphed mob madness into
confederate calls— “Take the hall!” “Take the hall!”?
Who set off white supremacists—unable to walk the chalk
thin blu line—pissing on walls and steps of Gracie Mansion?
Who galvanized gun thugs gifting journalists/photographers
punches and kicks? Who $campaigned Urination under God?
II. Who resurfaced hungover hustler, sucking 9/11 blood? Who?
Who met with Jack Daniels, Johnny Walker Red, Old Grandad?
Who took the fifth—all 16 shots—on the 6th? Who came Cristal
sodden for “Trial by Combat?” Who? Who sought a low Barr pardon
Last Days of Pompeo? Who? Who bargained for Boss Tweet discount?
Who?
Who sweated small stuff, suffering makeup failure in Philly? Who?
Who sinks lower and lower—like an hourglass of oily sand? Who?
Who be Grecian Formula Spinning Ginni groomer, gobbling up Dr.
Goebbels doctrine? Who? Who be like capitalism—growing weirder—
mo’ wicked daily? Who? Who provides Amos & Andy counsel?
Who? Who couldn’t out-lawyer Larry Williams, Lynne Stewart, Flint Taylor or
Walter Riley—with team of 10,000/budget of a billion—Who?! Who?!
