night
rain ends
the
dog is still dreaming as in whimpering
every
street is coffee black
most
of the houses
are
on lockdown
save
your ire while you're still feeling it
keep
your hands away from your face
don't
pick your nose
shave
away your facial hair
you
were never born with it anyway
a
county executive wants to cleanup the porta-johns
at
the frackin cracker plant construction site
didn't
anyone tell him
shit
flows downhill
don't
bite your fingernails
(and
payday's on friday)
so
the store shelves got raided
before
sunrise
toilet
paper has made it to the commodity exchange
you
need keys to the city
to
get into the senate office building bathrooms
so
take the money & run in your cleanest jockey shorts
i
won't be voting for you anyway
a
pickup truck with a rusted-out bed
is
dropping his muffler on the avenue
no
one told him to keep quiet
&
stay home today
so
he's heading downstream
to
the cracker plant
river
rising
