Martha Washington Kisses Kublai Khan

An 18 year old poem, unearthed for the occasion of Parampampoli in CT. with the Georges 2026


Martha Washington Kisses Kublai Khan


The Parampampoli set afire,
a new family ritual on this only July 4th, two thousand eight, a sacred toast to
a Chinese Indian family reunion, a French Birthday, salsa,
life, brought by hand from Italy.

(Ridiculous drinking a hot drink on a hot day, independent
of the traditional Italian's emphatic opinion.)

Spirited away by the clan, the fire in the pan 
is shiny and the world is left, mercifully, 
unconquered. As if one could, anyway.

One might better call it interdependence day.

Call granny up and apologize
(for the insolent revolution)

Now

Is anyone missing?
