Replying to a comment on:
this is us (Free verse) by roses are read
i am a screaming bisexual banshee
a baroque princess
your pix
i am an erratum
i am the second hand
i an a monochrome mongolian,
making meat for the american table.
i am a hangnail,
a muted thunderstorm.
i am toxic, erbium, uranium,
heavy water, nuclear waste.
i am the child of the golden arches,
superman's little girl.
i am a dodecahedron
one face towards the sky,
one to the ground,
two eyes on england, four on the
middle east, and the other fourteen
eyes on myself.
i am looking into the mirror,
tell the administration, bill gates, enron, england, russia,
the postal service, nato, the eu, someone...
to fix the goddamn thing so it doesn't tell the truth anymore.
i am for the NRA,
against it, crying for freedom,
dead of a semi-automatic,
in the hands of a 16 year-old,
trained by the us in military school,
riflry division.
i am food stamps, welfare, layoffs and cardboard signs that read:
"please help food job money God Bless"
i am not proud.a
