simply beautiful
on the radio
another million dollar
reality television whore
is talking about her latest project
she says you need to take about thirty selfies
to get the right one
they say that next year she’ll make another
eighty-five million off of her latest app
and her self-help book looks to be a big seller
the guy driving this car says to me
this is going to be a glorious day
tons of sun and no humidity
he waits on me to give my two cents
but i’m half-hungover, tired,
and i don’t like where he’s taking me
so i say, yeah, it’s the sort of day some people might like
it’s a day for everyone, he says
it’s simply beautiful!
i look out the window
just in time to catch a man in a three-piece suit
step in a pile of dog shit
he stops and throws his hands up
to ask the gods, why me?
as the million dollar
reality television whore
chuckles about her wealth into the radio static
billions of ancient photons
at her beck and call
this morning’s flaming yellow dwarf
and all of sleepy-headed
america
bowing for her too.
