"Tell all the truth
But tell it slant."
--Emily Dickinson
George Carlin's dead!
He was a funny guy.
He'd take a truth and dance with it.
The truth was like a big rag doll.
It could be bent.
It would fall down.
He'd hold it up and pirouette.
George Carlin was on a rant.
He'd rant about the government.
He'd show the stupid grin behind
Tyranny spying on its drones.
He'd show a people
Stewing in their fear.
It was funny--
The way nightmares are funny.
George Carlin, the murderer, is dead.
He was a dangerous man.
He'd walk around with his machete swinging.
He'd macerate myths and propaganda.
You'd never know where or when he'd strike.
