The Monterey Pop and Tuskegee experiments
Were secret for years, and the Castle Rock
Oval Office movie set only yesterday
Stood revealed.
Some call that progress,
To see the rubber chickens
Run around like puppets
With their strings cut off
From organists invisible.
But Baroness Rothschild
Eats crickets in my backyard,
Neck turning black,
Her reptile head bobbing,
As if remembering Monk.
