wrestling with congruency
I wear the walmart tie
know all the quotations
have the big book
What if it all explodes,
the universe inside
pushed through
its fragile shell
overwhelming
all that exists
above the big hole.
What if bricks fly
like leaves in a hurricane,
cellos burn like straw,
fingers napalm
lips paper.
Will you hail the second coming?

Put the maximization of profit above all ideals
call it the American dream.
Invite lobbyists to secretly make policy
declare it executive privilege.
Listen only to people who agree with you
pretend you do otherwise.
Paint all who dissent with a broad pink brush
label them traitors
Intimidate rather than dialogue
blame it on evil.
Squander a surplus.
Build a deficit.
Outsource torture.
Ignore law.
Fatten the rich.
Squeeze the poor.
Call yourself compassionate.
