New Poem: IT IS WHAT IT ISN’T

president gets hold of tea party bazooka
tweets the word liberate in all caps
encourages insurgent behavior
wants his fans to get out of their houses
cut off pieces of the golden calf
demand a stunted version of normal
>
death is more than numbers on spreadsheet
much more than a model bent to White House will
it’s family friends neighbors coworkers
doctors nurses online shipping clerks
meat packers ministers actors writers
supermarket checkers and many more
>
make tests available
find out who has it who does not
don’t make Americans play Russian Roulette
give life a chance
