REALITY WINNERS

Oh USA
I’m ashamed I’ve failed you
I had to crack into
my pandemic rations

See the line outside the grocery store
slouched way back toward
the national guard at the door
Of the rock club morphed into a food bank
And I had to hurry home before curfew

Oh USA
Way back in the 80s
when I was but a wee lad
eager and failing to befriend
kids with popped up collars
there was this one man

Such class
Such charm
Such cool
Such credibility

compassion and wit
warmth and wisdom
Subtlety, sensitivity
Such a big yacht

Such honor
Such grace
Such a complex command of irony
nuance & depth
a man of such true soul  

And Oh USA
his insightful commentary
and casual acts of kindness
Reflected our collective spirit so resolutely
we anointed him Il Duce

He even ran a charity or 2
mail order steaks and an online university
Specializing I assume
in the spectacle of Black death
This man of god could correct
the map of a storm’s path with a sharpie

Can’t let citizens of Shit Holes in
Very fine people on both sides
detain kids in cages, pardon enablers
prosecute political rivals as traitors

Don’t let Fake News fool you
pigs stack bricks—smash windows—
slash tires drop jars incendiary
All in the name of Quid pro quo for PPE

2024
2028
2032
2036
maybe 2040 my daughter is so hot
You snowflakes can’t take a joke

We subcontract hacking up reporters

we have always sided with Goliath
Punching down we still aim below the belt
We tell it like it is—ignorance & nastiness
have always been our nation’s greatest aspirations

Oh USA
Rake your forests.
Nuke your hurricanes.
Strap your teachers.

Many people are saying
you can covid windmill cancer
but try injecting bleach
it’s a stable genius answer

Don’t fret those pesky Antifascists
We’ve got militias sans badges
Facial recognition Habeas Corpus social media

We want to be free-ee-ee-ee
We want to be free-ee-ee-ee
I’m alive I’m alive
I’m alive I’m alive yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
