A Funeral Wish or Watergate Forever, 1973

I find myself in
 a strange bind,
  the first poem
   I've written since Europe.

It's hard to find
 something to say
  after being drained
   of all love and compassion.

Now, all I can say
 is thanks to all
  generations to come
   and have already passed.

You see, generations
 bring peace, because
  haven't you heard
   of a "generation of peace"?

Yes, Mr. Nixon is
 the topic of this
  piece of verse, may
   he rest in peace.
                             Amen.
