is the sexy shooter going to unite
the left and the right? she texts
i've got a headache from waking
up between news cycles
my director puts me on
the spot in a virtual meeting
he asks me to tell a joke
and i tell him my hourly wage
everyone laughs
with their audio muted
everything has spread
itself out in front of me
like a complex menu
i take the bits and pieces,
chew em up and shit out views
remember when Colin Powell
went on national tv and said
that the enemy could be right
within our own country
i just live here,
i don't want ownership
i just want to figure out
how to keep writing
for myself and the few
people who read me
it's no big secret, it's no big
secret that we love
a white man with guns
when they shoot the way
we want them to shoot
what do U.S. presidents
and the CEO shooter
have in common?
they both like McDonald's
but no one is laughing
and each screen goes dark
