interdependence day (1988)

Fireworks celebrate the fourth of july sky over the gulf of Persia
And you’re in italy sleeping off a siesta,

The planes passengers crossing the channel to their homes
Smelling of Lebanese meats and spices, the sound of silly

Children happy to see daddy, spouse’s complaint of the local
Vicious dog that terrorizes the innocent meter reader doing daily duties

I’m pitching horseshoes in Oklahoma, taking aim
And firing with my lower lip silently chewed in contemplation

Pitching my shoe and hoping for a ringer the macho
Burst of fireworks resounds in my mind

And all I felt was disgust, and all I felt was this remorseful code
Dashdashdash dotdotdot dashdashdashing thru all the

Miles and differing wartime zones, and all I felt
From this celebration of isolation was nausea

My mind churning with the bloated floating dead
O spangled banner of america who’d guess you’re not an island

Though surrounded by mental waters you only
Lower your drawbridge to send out armed salesmen, what

Carrion you produce along the skyways of commerce!
What blisters swelling on the triggerfingers of ignorance,

What vain nationalism with your civil plights
And comdom-nation of others! And what  say I of myself?

I’m america too, an isolatoe, but I think that think my nation
Hates thinking, knockout those with something to give

Wrap nature in disposable diapers and talcum the
Consciences by proclaiming I am

Not me! Swear it doesn’t hurt though the drought burns
Our pink skins like sonic insults! Independence day

Fade away like a pipe bomb, like a tummy ache, like
A cramp in the side, and shatter our illusory caskets!

diamond stylus of fantastic night stereo (1987)

Dark crippled night draws the shades sealing long haze
Envelopes of rust and navy, feeds potted
Geraniums with postcard whispers of breeze bulk rate
Thirdclass it bounces around the world without
Direction ready by a million snoopy clerks
Cautious night unsheathes the porcupine quills
Brushed by rushing trucks and arabesque shoplights it
Dips into the inky murk of a million
Lonelinesses, sighing lovesick sailor, wraps our\
Leftovers with nocturnal foil
Goofy prankster night carves earth’s shapes into
Shadowed heaps and fills our plates
With wine glasses, her apron is
Never peeled off and runs with the bug juice of a million
porch lights, squeezed hearts, spit out seeds in
Biodegradable coffins, starved pits, plastic dirt,
Formaldehyde prayer
Dusty tongued night yields a stick of charcoal
And sketches the latest ridiculous fashions
Frazzled hair tucked behind the ears,
Evening wear of spread-eagle clouds, hearty bibs
That wipe clean meal after meal,
Long deciduous robes without hint of starch,
Plaid stairs of mute moonlight statues and trellises one and
The same, rosewhisper patterns of wind
That hush the anxieties and fill in the cracks
With the sleep crust of a million eyes pulling living flowers
And doves from the tophat, drawing the diamond
Stylus of fantastic night stereo, painting
The blackness with forms loose,
Supernovas no less, sleepy atomic metronomes,
Tender moonlight wisps of collected scraps
That dogs of day wouldn't touch
Diamond stylus of fantastic night stereo

the winter flames

the wind's nip catches my chest
and i pull the protection
of a long black overcoat, inside my woolen bubble
my heart shakes my throat

dry crumpled leaves of tempera autumns

the leaves are quickly gathed in neat little

and lit with consternation

they float off as cinders from gracile birds wings
catching in the geared wind
they sweep past the cooing coeds, past

"Peter the Great (Catalan: Pere el Gran, Aragonese: Pero lo Gran; 1239 – 11 November 1285)[1] was the King of Aragon (as Peter III) of Valencia (as Peter I), and Count of Barcelona (as Peter II) from 1276 to his death, (this union of kingdoms was called the Crown of Aragon).

At the invitation of some rebels, he conquered Sicily and became its king in 1282, pressing the claim of his wife, Constance of Hohenstaufen, uniting the kingdom to the crown. He was one of the greatest of medieval Aragonese monarchs."

KXLS called itself "Class FM," and gained national attention in the summer of 1982 for its "Zumma Beach" promotion. A hot tub was set up outside the station door, with sand surrounding it to give the impression of an oceanside beach hundreds of miles from the coast. The station also won Oklahoma Associated Press awards for its newscasts in 1983.

Lacy sold KXLS for several million dollars to Larry Steckline in the mid-1980s. This allowed Steckline to expand his Mid-America Agri-Net. During that same time, the station went off the air for several weeks when its tower in Helena, Oklahoma collapsed

silverado banking oil Oklahoma politics

Enid's First National bank is the only bank in American history to have been closed by the military.
____________________________________________________________

"May 3, 1987 — The Union Pacific Corporation consolidated two subsidiaries, Champlin Petroleum and the Rocky Mountain Energy Company, into a single operating company called the Union Pacific Resources Group, Inc. It said the change would permit further cost and productivity improvements in the natural resource businesses. (New York Times, May 4, 1987)


UPC acquired Champlin Petroleum Company ("Champlin") in 1970 to manage the exploitation of its oil and gas operations on the Land Grant. The Land Grant consists of land granted by the Federal government to a predecessor of UPC in the mid-1800s which passes through the states of Colorado and Wyoming and into Utah and intersects several highly productive oil and gas basins.

In the Land Grant Area, the Company has fee ownership of the mineral rights under approximately 7.9 million acres constituting the initial Land Grant and controls the mineral rights under approximately 700,000 additional acres.

In 1971, UPC combined its own oil and gas operations with those of Champlin. In 1987, the Champlin name was changed to Union Pacific Resources Company ("UPRC") and UPRC also became responsible for managing UPC's hard mineral assets."

_____________________

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department asked the FBI last fall to investigate allegations that regulators delayed until after Election Day, 1988, their closing of a Colorado savings and loan where President Bush's son, Neil, was a director, documents show.

An FBI spokesman confirmed on Monday that the agency has been investigating Silverado Banking, Savings & Loan Assn. for more than a year, but he declined to say whether the effort covers charges of pressure to delay Silverado's closing.

The Treasury Department's inspector general, who started the investigation into the savings and loan in June, 1990, referred the matter to the FBI last October, letters obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request show. The Denver-based financial institution was seized by regulators in December, 1988, and its failure is expected to cost taxpayers about $1 billion.

"The Champlin Refining Company, which for many years held the distinction of being the nation's largest fully integrated oil company under private ownership, was based at Enid, Oklahoma. In 1916 Enid banker and entrepreneur Herbert Hiram Champlin (1868–1944) bought a lapsed oil lease on the Beggs farm in the fledgling Garber Field about fifteen miles east of Enid. Champlin was reluctant to enter the new and highly speculative oil business, but at his wife's urging he agreed to invest twenty-five thousand dollars in the venture.

Champlin's first well came in on Christmas Day 1916 as a 250-barrel producer. The banker-turned-oilman drilled more wells on his 160-acre lease and in July 1917 purchased a small refinery on the outskirts of Enid, enlarged it to provide a market for the oil from his wells, and established the Champlin Refining Company. In order to provide a secure market for the refinery's growing output, He purchased a series of small oil companies that operated service stations. By the mid-1920s Champlin Refining Company was marketing petroleum products in a six-state area centered on Oklahoma. As the organization grew, it drilled more wells, built a large pipeline network, opened additional refineries, and greatly expanded the retail operation, all under the auspices of Champlin's private ownership.

When Herbert H. Champlin died on April 30, 1944, his company employed more than eight hundred people in Enid, operated service stations and wholesale outlets in twenty midwestern states, had a strong drilling and production presence in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico, and continued a major refining operation supported by one of the largest pipeline complexes in Oklahoma. The company continued under family ownership until its stock went public in 1953. In 1954 the Champlin Refining Company was bought by the Chicago Corporation of Chicago, Illinois. This $55 million deal allowed the company to operate as a subsidiary until the Chicago Corporation changed its name to the Champlin Refining Company in 1956. In 1964 the Celanese Corporation bought the company, and at the beginning of 1970 Celanese sold Champlin to the Union Pacific Resources Company, a division of the Union Pacific Corporation. They operated the Champlin Refining Company in much the same manner as before. In 1984 they sold the entire retail operation to American Petrofina, closed the Enid refinery, and ended the Champlin Refining Company's lengthy and significant presence in Oklahoma."

"First National Bank of Enid[edit]

"Enid's First National bank is the only bank in American history to have been closed by the military.
Champlin participated in the land run of 1893, investing in the Enid State Guaranty Bank. Champlin became ill and returned to Kansas. Upon recovery returned to operate a lumber yard with operations in Enid, Hobart, Kingfisher and Lawton. Charley and Sherman Goltry had taken control of the Bank during Champlin’s absence, and Champlin repurchased the bank from them.

During the wave of bank closings in March 1933, Governor William H. Murray ordered all banks in the State of Oklahoma to close. Champlin refused and continued to operate the bank which was financially sound.

 In response, the governor called out the National Guard. Captain Stephen J. England led eighteen militia men into town to close the bank, earning the First National Bank of Enid the distinction of the only bank ever to be closed by the military in American history.

Although it survived the depression, the bank was among several banks in Enid that closed in the 1980s as a result of a bad economy."

______________________

"1954: Purchased by the Chicago Corporation for $55,000,000. This parent company changed its name to Champlin Refining Company in 1956.

1984: The Retail business of Champlin was purchased by American Petrofina, after Champlin closed the refinery.

around 1986, Union Pacific Corporation and Champlin Petroleum Company sold the Corpus Christi Refinery. Champlin trade name was part of the deal. Champlin's name was changed to Union Pacific Resources Company (UPRC).

During late 1990's, Union Pacific Corporation spun off the Union Pacific Resources Company.
2000: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Union Pacific Resources merged. The Anadarko name survived going forward."

"President Trump is exempting Citgo Petroleum Corp., owned by Venezuela’s government, from the financial sanctions imposed Friday on the country."

"A subsequent disclosure form shows Citgo paid Avenue Strategies $80,000 through June and that Bennett lobbied the White House, the Energy Department, the Justice Department and the Treasury Department, which houses the unit that ultimately imposes sanctions.

In the first half of the year, Citgo spent $900,000 on lobbying, with the lion’s share going to Democratic operative Manuel Ortiz of VantageKnight, a shop he formed after leaving top K Street firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. Ortiz, who earned $540,000 in the first six months of 2017 from the oil giant, has represented Citgo since 2014, according to federal forms.

Cornerstone Government Affairs is also on retainer, taking in $280,000 from July through June.

A senior administration official said that officials are also watching out for whether Rosneft, Russia’s state oil company, takes a significant stake in Citgo, which Venezuela put up as collateral for a loan from Russia.

Such a transaction, or trading that collateral for an interest in Citgo assets, could trigger new action against the company since Rosneft is already subject to United States sanctions, the official told reporters"

                                 barn of eloquence

clouds don't always chew sunset
faith reminds ingredients to remember as a hand on TV
paints a lavender prayer, the crystal goblet
holding an underground orchestra
you ring with a fork to mourn meanings of
breaking fast)  close the door by the garden
say hello to green ark 7
off to the football planet, hoards of heathen

waving psalms of blue
          *
once imitated the mystery went fuzzy
without glasses the wine drained
hummingbird ego
lotus impersonation, minors nosing nectar
and staff inflection cup reflections
in murky word ponds
flooded winter slapped beavertail bongo
chug chug of an oil well producing
the sequel, lest it not be
             *
to flow the bravery where no sky
sown by our sun illustrates the cosmos
of vast fields called the barn
of eloquence which warps its last stretchy owl
with the fiddle of goodnight

starry eyed (1991)

                                starry eyed

mimosa, obscure reference flower,
fresh sea of air near trippers dissipated
gassed at berkley, felt straddled by world architecture,
could dream past el trio destructo-harmonico,
patch phases, perch watermazes, spin putrid gazes,
disavow light howls, hold the wrists of deaf parakeets.
                                  one day the chalk screetches Odysseus.
benign the fate of dim illuminati
better eschew pasta the melting plate
fork the plumcloud, spaz a pagan strum, know
your sister was bent on a sound
straight hammering kansas, drape paper on intent,
chase ponds if ducks seem float bemused
                               sport be numb, a craze planting a trace
 what once was carved-n-chaste
curled into stuffs oxidized from pride
we hack people circuits, an ax to the thorax of hypocrisy
blown purple hearts foretell a future
spent sans dough----------teeth rot the rent, not
to understand but to delight
                                             the Eye soars
post aprophidisiac under good water tuned to match
artemis or diana or a mimosa if it had entrails,
not dental floss for neanderthals
with fennel seed flavored gum on the boots,
infidel waits to shine the burned sidewalk shoe
in a trance uttered to a flag
in classroom's morningchild miracle genius
i swore allegiance mine sweet land
of poverty poetry rhyme,

howling frog, portland 1992

walking treefogged parks, coloring pictures. no sooner do i question the value of place,
and my hand lifts coffee mug to drain the suggestions the messages arrive to a bladder, but it isn't mine. writing has crystallized time
gestation; sharpen pencil edge, scribble more.
the weightlessness of the world walks with me as a stockingcapped woman laughs,
ng frog cafe on sixth street in portland; reading walden, smoking pot,
nose behind her paperback novel. some man's hacking lungs blows its horn.
     i'm a deaf libarary of experiences, looking in on an amber odyssey, a retarded cajunboy,
a dyslexic prophet of some crawdad's revenge. our ship looms on the watery horizon
like oilrigging platforms pioneering a loneliness; waves crash barnacle hips, the sun
escapes. as a function of swamp. across the street are art lofts, no one has rent. (1992)

"Circe (/ˈsɜːrsiː/; (Greek: Κίρκη Kírkē pronounced [kírkɛ͜ɛ]) is a goddess of magic or sometimes a nymph, witch, enchantress or sorceress in Greek mythology.

 By most accounts, she was the daughter of the sun god Helios, and Perse, an Oceanid nymph. Her brothers were Aeetes, keeper of the Golden Fleece, and Perses.

 Her sister was Pasiphaë, the wife of King Minos and mother of the Minotaur.

Other accounts make her the daughter of Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft"

slough

the slough barked not unlike a seal full of salmon
the slough mirrored not much very well
the slough had its home on the side like a tick
the slough slayed all in sight
the slough spread in all caps a TSUNAMI
the slough's attic was both empty and teeming
the slough was but a fly stuck in a hot black snake
the slough knew aggravation the board game might float
the slough had a dock, once
the slough mirrired very muddy stars and gars
the slough held fitzcarraldo groaning rivets in thin regard
the slough had no bottom nor mouth but a third seep eye
the slough of the seventeenth century, same as the last
the slough knot undid the trees
the slough sent spells and spelled sleuth not sloth
the slough the slough loved forever and then bailed
the slough had a storm slain and trees uprooted strewn
the slough gave birth a present full of eggs
the slough spilled to refill its prescripted zeal
the slough ate stew as froggy on the banjo said hallelooluh
the slough gorges himself on raw land
the slough takes all craps
the Lslough is better without the eLbow
the slough made merry betting like a fool cuckoo
the slough is wide closed in dismal deeps
the slough meandered cuz that what it do
the slough for our information is tepid at dawn
the slough his baroque morning gave furlough
the salute the slough flew was quasi neo parasitic proud
the slough was a splinter spread thick as marmite
the slough has sex everwhere it knows
the slough steep reclines for a lean toward moon
the slough literally takes a bath figuratively
the slough met on the tarmac for a bribe or bride
the slough poet pocketed a pound of pond mud
the slough almighty found relief in a catfish
the slough grew to faint or feign depending
the slough soup the plane full of letters
the slough made maidens left wanting more wanting
the slough mine stocked glimmers by the score
the slough or some agent of slime was our water
the slough gurgled in recess but played in class
the slough looked itself up in the tangled sky
the slough harpy crashed in a tangled bless
the slough gave us work and sweat
the slough memorandized an antiquated fax totem
the slough toted mayo to the clinic and saw banyan dreams
the slough keeps going fresh to stagnant overnight
the slough is no shogun
the slough steams open geodes and fills them with supper
the slough ramp drew webbed crowds of critics
                                                              what was a slough to do

library

salmon thick river rushed hard seaward
crusting over the indivisible nonsense space
delineating realms verbotten in depths sky lusted over
by bear grape &eagle
whose combine mows the wine and those who sup it
with flismy nets raven pulled &hummingbird slung
as a hammock of water
only nitrogen could stop with choice muted as the loins
of magma in a basin of
teeming ancestors eye speared by night to roast
oak's olden heartwood
self captured on microfilm from the library

Wait

Like the mystery of seafoam
a bubble was blown
and she was curled inside.
As noiselessly as a baby's rattle,
pinkly dropped, is swallowed up
in a fringe of long green grasses,
daylight began as a film on glass
and night starred her reflections.
Lonesome she stood to watch the progress
of others more thematically currented by.
As she waited she began idly to scribble
oceans of words, which were then
tightly capped and stored away in heavy opaque bottles.
Wait cooled blue on her cheeks
on her lips, the knight
who stood more amorous
over her intricate sand castles.

my mom, Melanie Bloodgood, 1976

Once, poem by Dr. Melanie May Bloodgood 1976

One moment, once,
in a sun-buzzed room
all the views were delightful.
I and Time were a great balloon
in touch with the walls about us.
Then as if someone had been excused
from a chambered violin's play,
sound abruptly fountained up,
more abrupt yet was snipped away.
Suddenly, too, a light shaft,
crazy as an accident,
rushed down its silk in a slanted stream
to live and breathe on my white sheets
in a pool of moired patterns.
Hands to the birth of a secret universe
I was once one day.

Angel, poem by Dr. Melanie May Bloodgood 1976

Especially she was starred:
above her pink points of her breasts
a mark fearfully bright
was confirmed by the elders of the tribe
after having been thoroughly tested.
She counted on them to clarify
all those who sent caskets of flowers,
but the elders (biblically lecherous)
dilly dallied the score.
With still lifes of candy dusty in dishes
she fortified her door
until no one could phone.
Too far forced, the number was lost
in a box of lacy underthings
and soon they allowed the glass
in her house more strange than ever.
Assured she stood still
all the white cars
long in the drive turned around.
An angel, the ladies over thin red tea
agreed, crossing their ankles at the knee,
smothing the fine print of their dresses.
A nesting bird greyly shook itself out
and commenced again its regular breathing.

"Landlords always have the right to come onto the rented property — but not into the dwelling unit itself — to give notices permitted by law or the rental agreement."

violation 453

"You have the right to refuse entry after receiving a 24-hour notice. 

You may refuse entry by specifically alerting the landlord of your decision, or you may attach a written notice of refusal to the front of your apartment in a secure manner.

 However, just as the landlord may not abuse the right to issue a 24-hour notice to harass or retaliate against the tenant, the tenant may not arbitrarily deny access to the landlord after receiving a 24-hour notice. 

Thus, if you do not let your landlord enter your home after he or she has given proper notice, the landlord may get a court order to allow reasonable access or end the rental agreement."

"Morris declined Washington's offer to serve as the nation's first Treasury Secretary, instead suggesting that Washington appoint Hamilton to the position. Morris represented Pennsylvania in the Senate from 1789 to 1795, during which time he aligned with the Federalist Party and supported Hamilton's economic policies.

Morris invested a considerable portion of his fortune in land shortly before the Panic of 1796–1797, which led to his bankruptcy in 1798, and he spent several years in debtors' prison, until the United States Congress passed a bankruptcy act to release him"

castle

they came to my castle unwelcomed
in one sense, but not in the zillion others,
bringing uncertainty in boxes made by
children's toys amalgamated, they arrived
in box trucks unbeknownst to the maya,
they showed up where the consquidaros
first ate parrot, they banged their soft heels
on the sand across the dim waters of time,
they open handed knocked the cuckoo
breath out of his bill and gave it to wood,
they sheltered with no name tags all alone
in midst of a great forest abundant in empty
sound, they rode in on clouds and had
mist for beards curled into begging cups,
they built my castle long hence of gold
when all i wanted was soup kiss son&

wooden squirrel moves

supine squirrel stretched out on his belly
on the fence top, so relaxed i thought him dead,
so unmoving unblinking distantly withdrawn
i watched from the kitchen window
concerned, as i had been earlier yesterday,
about shattered glass on the dance floor
where someone's daughter writhes and wiggles for cash
sure it was swept but unmopped
sure the cherry tree bounty had just filled the squirrel
with sugar nap sap and the sun was morning kind
until i opened the door to revive or bury
stuck on trying to remember where i left my past,
how it was built, who paid for it and where the photos dwell,
with a start
frisky fellow's eye widens, the torso lifts from full lazy splendor
june cherries above made scarce by crow, bluejay,
setting the posts, having dug the places along where
i ran strings, finding an enevlope with
receipt for a mustang stud colt, and from the american
kennel club with tundra and klondike's sire and dame
she rolled down a hill to feed the land
he  in flames slow became the shadow of soil
what a belly, this squirrel full of hops, afraid
 no cat may launch attack the drowse
permeated fence cap, squirrel and wood, one
not parched of peace or value laden
shredding hour's squirrel both alive dead dormant& active,
entangled in a toothpick, lodged deep in wood trees.

snake king

say you do not love me if you can,
Earth woman wrapped in warp speed leisure
as you dremel my stone facade to find the all father child
slide ravenous and winged as hermes
absconds to build the foundations of Music in our stead
atop one steed you and i ride off
inward into yawns of time most heaven kissed breeze
our kite trailing a lineage of good blood
ribboned with your eyes

placid arc

the gravel full of fossils i learned to walk
was my home and is my home once
mind crawls back to the splash that changed the world,
pushing reasons to meander
and collect on one's knees,
prospecting a quite golden sun velvet wrapped by
silver night and noetic palladium trees
things that appeared to be of interest, as a child,
such as the sky
from up there in the sycamore
from which she taught me to scout
horizon's placid arc

walking love with all ten toes
is my new motto
and you got soul enuff to pun your way into fancy shoes
for navigation porpoises
to sweat out love and swear to be true
beauty's path beckons,
the sunrise behind my shoulders masses a fjord
to share with our future.

creel harpoon craft mast listing in mist bygone tomorrow to battle

a silver rattle left and earrings persian glass

time sealed in twelve century slough night tantalizes mead heavy mind

a brace of narwhale ivory mends a leather pillow of a man

old known tree sounds fire speaks seasons secret lines

the fjord mirror draped in loam and foals child chased

her shield resting more tested his spear ready less flaunted

reindeer swim amid star filled lakes glacier gotten

acorn rolls name game the wood script floats off intelligent

Mergers of neutron stars — the dense husks of stars that collapsed in on themselves after running out of fuel for nuclear fusion — have been theorized about for decades. No one had witnessed such a cataclysm until the gravitational and light signals from an event 130 million light-years away reached Earth on Aug. 17.

slum landlords

"A slumlord (or slum landlord) is a derogatory term for a landlord, generally an absentee landlord with more than one property, who attempts to maximize profit by minimizing spending on property maintenance, often in deteriorating neighborhoods. 

Severe housing shortages allow slumlords to charge higher rents, and when they can get away with it, to break rental laws."

Alcohol use has always been part of West Point, the military, human life, and colleges.

"Army football players lured prospective recruits with an alcohol-fueled bus trip earlier this year, and 20 cadets, two officers and two coaches have been disciplined, according to a report in The Gazette of Colorado Springs.

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, self-reported a recruiting violation to the NCAA, the newspaper said.

West Point spokeswoman Theresa Brinkerhoff said the academy didn't publicly detail the incident because it was handled "administratively."

************************


"The party reportedly involved 14 recruits who came to visit in January, and were given dinners and tours. They were escorted by members of the football team and two cheerleaders to a mall, and went by bus to a bowling alley with a reputation for overlooking underage drinking, the report said.

There, the cadets ordered towers of beer and allowed the recruits to drink, and some cadets said they had seven drinks in 90 minutes.


The report also said a military police escort stayed with the bus and that booster money was allocated for the night out.

 Female athletes at the academy also have been asked to act as dinner dates for recruits, she said."

It's more clear every day that "rape" is a political charge. Some "rape" charges involve an actual rape. Many do not. "

WAPO, don't censor political speech. Comments like Fritos deserve strong rebuttal, not mob rule male ignorant misogyny.
