HEY NOW!!

 

 

Hey now!!

let’s pretend

we’re poets

and try to make

some verse

out of this pretense

 

let’s see

what we can come

up with in the mass decay

of the human race

with sexual and racial tensions

 

and the frictions growing stronger

             fissures in walls

      reaching epic proportion

          (to borrow from Poe)

 

Yes, there is too much

fighting and bloodshed

but the tears of a poet

are unwanted

in consumer society

 

get them damn poets

the hell out of here

they’re a royal

pain in the ass

 

don’t need them anymore

toss them to the dogs

don’t need them anymore

toss them to the dogs
