Getting my passport renewed
actually
stirred up feelings
of patriotism
I looked at the passport
and saw the bold letters
“United States of America”
I am a citizen
of this country
and it got me humming
Hulk Hogan’s song
“I am a real American.”
that’s when it started
to get frightening
humming songs by Hulk Hogan
does not a stable mind suggest
I began
to feel like a fool
this kind of poor taste
won’t help my image
I’m just glad
no one was around
to catch me
in my moment of shame
It was tastelessness
that embarrasses me
to no end

I guess it could be worse. I could have been caught singing a Barry Manilow tune.
