"Dead Man's Curve Ball"
I am an old man
I walk barefoot on shattered glass
Yet it’s my “heart” that bleeds
Automatic weapons fire tracers towards Orion
A twenty six year old woman changes diapers
in nearby tattered apartment. She has 13 teeth.
A kid’s head emerges from a graffitied dumpster
Half eaten slice of pizza in his mouth
Red, White and Blue Bunting
Hangs on a bank like a rapper’s trousers
A stern looking man appears on a huge video monitor
in garbage strewn park. Old Glory ripples behind him.
His words begin soft, a tenor totalitarian singing
A crescendo of carping castigation
CELEBRATE! He does so order
‘Tis “Bin Laden Dead Day”
