the parade
just sit back and watch
sieg-ing heil in all the right places
mouthing out the national anthem
followed by majorettes holdin’
newspeak banners preaching peace
followed by a band playing
“Born in the USA”
never learning the lyrics just liking the sound
while in the grandstand
crowdin’ together like bottom feeders
so-called leaders are doin’
their yearly holiday chickenhawk cosplay
havin’ Tienanmen wet dreams
translating gunfire
into the tintinnabulation of cash registers
drowning out the ghost of Lincoln
weeping
--Mark A. Fisher
