we are all reality tv
coronavirus virus
dance craze
is sweeping the world
and like a game show
we’re wondering who has it this week?
even the speaker of the house knows
that if you tear up the state of the union address
all it does is make for good drama
better than kids still sitting in cages
no, we can’t cancel that orange bastard
with all of the buzz surrounding him
let’s give him four more years
see if he can keep
the corporate news media’s ratings up
facebook
twitter
your local bar
you can go anywhere now
to binge-watch the end of democracy
i’m outraged
i’m angry
but i got so much shit stored on netflix
that i’ll be inside for a month
with my buttered popcorn
resting on the constitution
the tattered blinds drawn
to keep out the light
from all of those cellphone selfie zombies
and the glare of gleaming
ugly american flags.
