You may think you saw

Soldiers from confederate-christened bases— 

white supremacist spaces— Cops from as

far away as LA—Armed with hockey sticks, 

crutches and bear spray; Baseball bats/brass 

knuckles: Wrestling hands  of the clock back

to the ‘50s—1850s—

Fighting fiercely for skyscrapers snuggled next

to tents—cardboard mattresses below condos.

 

You may think you saw

Soldiers from confederate-christened bases— 

white supremacist spaces— Cops from as

far away as LA—Armed with hockey sticks, 

crutches and bear spray; Baseball bats/brass 

knuckles: Battling for plastic oceans slicked with

Oil; leaden drinking water; unbreathable air;

bullhorn bellies/Franken ‘food’ cornucopia; Texas

Taliban teachers teaching Fox-box false consciousness

 

But, women, men, children of the world—

Rest assured it was just a “normal tourist visit—”

“legitimate political discourse.”

So, don’t chant, “Yankee, go home!!!”

 

Don’t whisper, “ugly Americans” at it again. “It’s not who 

we are…“ “We’re better than this” red, white, blue through

line: Sand Creek to San Antonio; Wounded Knee to Buffalo;

Mother Emanuel to Uvalde; Nagasaki to Pulse Nightclub…

 

“We’re better than” transferring power—Ford Theater ballot—

back of Lincoln’s head. Better than Dallas ballots—ruby

results on 1st Lady’s pink dress. Better than Audubon Ball-

room/Lorraine Motel balcony ballots transferring Black Power

To desperate dances in donkey dung—every 2-4 years…
