trust that horse
with my money

i watched credible newsreaders 

age & fade

i saw their 

tanned jowls swell

they STOMACH it ALL 

everyday

mainlining the horror

jesus christ

tv eye watches tv sponge
under tv skies

& out the window
well out the window

on the streets . . .

theres a march to begun

WESTERN PRIVILEGE

something 
pins
the
quiet avenues down / paints them like Trumpton 

something keeps the chaos 
 out 
 the
 consensus cul-de-sacs 
keeps our Blue Velvet picket fences
 clean
 and
 Stepford

 despite the planned collateral 
of 
conceit / bombs / flags
 on 
 the 
 death 
 tv
