Enjoying some success
hot-sex trending
“Sold American!”

carrying out strictly conceptual
measures however being peppered
with mementos in books of sketches

depicting peasants
walking with heavy steps
falling far behind schedule

“Yes it’s the first time!”
“Ping! Pong! Concert’s On!
energizing upstarts

shouting, “Drain the swamp!”
destabilizing blocks
predatory lobbyists

unproven products
pitched by hard-right populists
with wit and heart left at the margins

whipsawed by a job raising the bar
being seized upon chanting,
“The whole world is watching!”
“The whole world is watching!”

responding, “Whose Mondrians are they?”
the snake charmers? or what fisherman want
from a blues guitar while waiting ‘til everyone’s gone?
still packing a wallop stolid three-chord rock...
