COMES NOW THE 99% DAO

by Captain Barefoot

for Jack Mueller


Two emails in one day
& both women self-
identify

as provocateurs. I’m
starting to get
nervous...

Wistful for iPhone
high-tech
to come cycling back

to home-made
apple high-touch...
 But worried

as the Bush-Clinton
Naisbitt-Reagan
days

of Everyman
entrepreneurs
gives way

to a fog
of Fox News
in-your-facebookateurs

Wall Street America occupied
with the falling Dow
The rising tide


Captain Barefoot identifies himself among the Union of Street Poets, Vincent St. John Local, Colorado Plateau, Aztlan Kuksu Brigade (Ret.), Cloud House, San Francisco, Shasta Nation, Pacific Rim.
