ignorance is the new black /
worn proudly at all occasions /
bedazzler aiming glints /
at our throats /
if you can’t win the argument /
twist the key in the bulldozer /
foreheads sink softly into /
the Hudson shore /
a country doesn’t know its people /
pours plastic soldiers in the stead /
to replace pillars on the highest buildings /
fresh plastic has a perfect complexion /
smiling melted into place /
I recall dressing a deer /
when I was younger /
strung up in the garage /
white swirls of fat /
under peeled skin /
head tilted upwards /
imploring its god perhaps /
that was the most reduced animal I have seen /
until now /
hung up by our own fist /
skinned early at each rally /
draining even whiter /
make it new never /
letting death be boring /
the next species /
crawls around our shadow /
ignoring the capital /
being brushed away
