103/365

was gonna write
something serious
about how america
hates its poor
and Black people,
and trans
and immigrants
and women
and everyone
calling bullshit
on replacemernt theory
and white supremacy
on tv.
and how the dream
and horatio alger
and bootstraps
are all…
balderdash blarney
blather blether
baloney bilge
bosh bull
bunk bull-dust,
bullshit bollocks.
better believe
copying and pasting
from a thesaurus
is poetry—
cuz i sayz so,
but this lame excuse
is all i can muster,
because i am lazy
and not brave
and unwilling to sacrifice
much of anything
and me and this poetry are
a big part
of the problem.
