HEAD
OFF WITH HER HEAD
2 superplump squirrels stalk me Now sequestered with brown
spiders at edge of park Bitchy boy snarlmouth kicks soccer
ball at tiny sister with dots If that ball comes 1 inch closer I will
toss squirrel carcass at mother un-supervising you She of
snarlmouth too
Freddie Oversteegen petite girl assassin +saboteur Fought Nazis
from her bicycle said: I’ve shot them +seen them fall And what’s
inside such a moment? You want to help them get up She perhaps
singular in this love for humanity Not a sentiment one sees shared widely
Today much hatred afoot Powerful men with tiny puckered mouths One
a judge one the Prez And a base of deplorables who mock rape victims
teeth gnashing Tear a jewgirl from limb to limb With clockwork orange eyes
plied wide open we watch Donald despot +his mail order bride eat democracy
for breakfast While the last of the civilized wonder who will make animal sounds
when democracy dies?

..Across the sea fat kings watched and were gleeful, that something
begun so well had now gone off the rails. The rabble cannot manage itself..
