mothers

[arabaliozian]

notes / comments
*********************
many years ago i remember
to have read a book by saroyan
in which he discusses
"mothers who hang in there forever."
who did he have in mind?
i no longer remember.
our boisses, bishops and benefactors?
they qualify...
*
"who are our leaders?"
a reader demands to know.
if you don't know, it may be because
like the mafia, they shun publicity.
*
to know a dog is not the same
as knowing the dog's master.
*
if hitler had treated einstein
with the respect he deserved,
i would now be writing this in german.
