blackwater

"The two types of boast are the ȝielp (pronounced 'yelp') and the beot (pronounced 'bayawt', but as one syllable). The former is a boast of one's own worthiness, such as one's accomplishments, ancestry, etc. The latter is a boast of an action one plans to undertake."

and THEN i am going to yelp,
writing my own previews,

a real nowhere man
with a hole in my levy

ready to fix
(redlines not gentrified with sitcom dynamite)

spots
just like i fixed iraq

as if "state department"
were a command

i.e.---"where are you FROM?"
born of black water,

primordial ooze
shows up to clean the mess precipitated

not by hurricane storm surges,
but by doing a FEMA

"heck of a slob" mop up job,
covering up deeds best buried.
