living in a parallel universe

inauguration

 

so many if not most have wished

 

where once was great, remember?

 

one imagines two front pages

 

took the wrong road

 

today the Kamala years begin

there was a better world

and why?

 

what did we believe?

 

in the Town of Tantrum

swamp and bubble

to drive the bogeys out

 

as in a book foretold

 

you don’t believe you say

 

all helium puff

and funny tune

the boy’s a big balloon

 

you say you don’t believe

 

but it’s happening

call it real time

 

say, can you see?

smoke clears

the tatters fly yet

 

then the billionaire banquet

with planetfry misogyny

grab pussy while you can

 

out with the others

in with ourselves

make steep the curve

cash up

 

go back to all that never was

there you will bathe in glory

 

who needs everything we fought for?

 

now tyrant, now vendetta

 

as war is my witness

 

ghost never gives up

 

let’s remember what could be

 

blue for a calm sea

red to enrage

 

ah yes, I remember it well

 

one begins to get an inkling

of just how fucked we are
