POOR EFFING EVERYTHING

tv 
is
UNICEF
malnutrition
famine
deforestation

regular everyday horror

all from Somewhere Else

then
a huge glitzy ad
for
make-up
and
a huge stylish ad
for
a
hatchback

poor fucking kids
i think
poor fucking world

wishing i could pop out for some light
go out and quickly buy some right

for
all
the
poor fucking kids
and
the 
poor fucking world

does it count
if we cry on purpose
in
our
hi-rise land ?

TROUBLE SOIL

when 
i
was
young
there
were
small
kingdoms of trouble soil

left-over 
un-zoned
torn scraps
of
concrete and dirt

where 
poor unkillable kids 
on 
hand-me-down bikes
climbed 
and
claimed
in
mud and the rain

and
in
a
riot
of
pretty weed blooms
