I meant to write dissolving the Congress.. (is that how it's spelled?) Where's my dictionary? Am I the only one who notices that Assyrians (and Persians) own numerous dictionaries which they never use.. they just keep them in sight, on their book shelves, with the glossy binder shining the words "Dictionary". Anyway, I just smoked a joint and am listening to my Queen, Nina Simone..

"Strange Fruit" written by Lewis Allen (a NY school teacher who adopted the Rosenberg children after the state executed their biological parents, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.)

Strange Fruit (originally sung by "Lady Bird" Billie Holliday, but as much as I love Billie, I prefer Nina's version... Strange Fruit.. a great metaphor for one of the greatest crimes perpetrated against African-Americans: lynchings under Jim Crow.)

Southern trees
Bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
And blood at the roots
Black bodies
Swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hangin'
From the poplar trees
Pastoral scene
Of the gallant south
Them big bulging eyes
And the twisted mouth
Scent of Magnolia
Clean and fresh
Then the sudden smell
Of burnin' flesh
Here's a fruit
For the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather
For the wind to suck
For the sun to rot
For the leaves to drop
Here is
Strange and bitter crop.
