disappointment
a zero-sales day

A tiny fifteen-year old girl
throws me to the mat
with the simple mechanics
of 'this' over 'that.
just take them off-balance
with a bend of the arm
and sweep through their leg
and you'll come to no harm

Independence day parade
subverted into a Putin-style show of might
from the self-crowned King of America,
but he hand-picks all the soldiers:
No Blacks; no fatties; no liberals;
No gays; no women and definitely no trans.
Actually, make sure they're all muscled,
white, blonde men under thirty.
No... Make that twenty-five
and paint all their hats red.
Spend two hundred million on my Big Parade
and cut the funding for Veteran's hospitals.
