...........................................

I'm almost speechless these days.

I find my words in recycling bins


Dumpsters and landfills,

picking through psychic garbage.


Or I pick google's brain

like in this poem


I googled NATO

and came up with the following:


(The only word I changed

to make it more accurate


Is the last word

which was "enemies".)


The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

was founded in 1949


And is a group of 32 countries

from Europe and North America


That exists to protect the people

and territory of its members


From its shadow.
