America

a poem

America, bigness on littered flats
a fist-fuck truck with dental implants
the bullet-brained bonfire on billboard prairies
drunk on botox and permission

America, the fistula, the leaking gut
a donut frost of powdered skulls
a rowdy drunk with road-dead eyes
a meth-breath fuck in the church kitchen

God damn America with our plastic words
our Gacy shoes and gunmetal heads
our war religions and cankered hearts
God damn the flag and our fist-fuck trucks

America, senility ward of why not
weaseling past on splash-lacquer words
drawing the world down its toilet-ring swirl
drunk on ignorance and impunity

America, walking down the cash-hacker path
a dissipate Disney with an ailing liver
two hundred and fifty winters and lies
aimed at a tawdry apocalypse

America, led by a jackass, our
Ozymandias shits in his golden bed
asking after his fist-fuck truck
and his plasticated women

America, the blowhard bathed in blood
with its protestant sodden cardboard soul
its meth-breath bombs raping the sky
necklace ringed with pigtails

America, bring in the clowns and caliopes
the elephants and dancing bears
the larcenous barker’s juked-on grin
rancor lodged between his molars

God damn America
drunk on lies
and dying of stupidity
