Made in America™

Best you can do is shadowbox the idiot box,

Best you can do is jay walk behind our fearless leader,

Best you can do is catch a fire like

fireflies in a jar of your fenced in yard,

Best you can do is pray the airstrikes do

away with only the most damned,

Best you can do is let the mama bear in you

stick them before they stick you.

 

It’s a double-edged knife handshake,

social restructuring fractures in technicolor.

You fish for visibility in the deep well of a

popstar’s survivor’s guilt.

 Best you can do is bathe and not get sick this winter,

Best you can do is realize, chin up with a grin,

NYC isn’t falling when you peer out of an

above ground Subway car.

 

Yet we are falling incredibly fast into a screen,

which knows no eulogy.
