The End of Nothing.

Koo, Coo, cuckoo, coup-coup - Zephryus is blowing...holiday in Thailand?
For some reason I am finding reason to smile today. Cautiously. Listening to the New York jazz station on this here internet:
"The military government in Thailand has appointed an interim Prime Minister ..."
regime change. bloodless. the media is quite happy with the word. bloodless: works for both the suggestion of a lack of human suffering, yet also a lack of humanity.
change, change, change...the news cycle and cycling through people's consciousness. Sneaky thing that consciousness, it pops up at the most inopportune times. Times like when tyrants are fighting and killing over hearts and minds.
New Robert Frost poem just discovered 2006: War Thoughts at Home, 1918.
consciousness. funny thing...my friend G--- reports that at ground zero, this past Septembre 11, a substantial group were chanting "Bush was behind 9/11". True? Does truth matter? The fundamentalist end-timers have a second-coming to prepare for.
End of Nothing: Vivé Le Resistance!

This is what I've been able to piece together from various reports.
War Thoughts at Home
Robert Frost
[35 lines, 7 stanzas, each 5 lines]
"War Thoughts at Home" 35 lines
1.
The flurry of bird war [?]
….[?]
….[?]
….[?]
….[?]
2.
It is late in an afternoon
More grey with snow to fall
Than white with fallen snow
When it is blue jay and crow
Or no bird at all.
3. [or 1?]
On the backside of the house
Where it wears no paint to the weather
And so shows most its age,
Suddenly blue jays rage
And flash in blue feather.
4.
….[?]
….[?]
….[?]
….[?]
….[?]
5.
And one says to the rest
“We must just watch our chance
And escape one by one-
Though the fight is no more done
Than the war is in France.”
6.
Than the war is in France!
She thinks of a winter camp
Where soldiers for France are made.
She draws down the window shade
And it glows with an early lamp.
7.
…..[?]
The uneven sheds stretch back
Shed behind shed in train
Like cars that have long lain
Dead on a side track.
