Now we understand
that poppies hum
slumber, cities
chant slaughter,
holy men hawk
hatred for votes and gold,
bubble gum
replaces B___ as the virus
reinvents itself
and bides its time.
Fat men in
fatigues and jungle gear
wave flags with
bloodshot eyes,
and manure
manifestos measure our resolve.
What can be done
but to remember
somewhere a slow
bassoon plans moonlight,
somewhere a
sleeping drum dreams Brahms.
