EVERY FIFTEEN YEARS
or, the story so far
America said, "You are free,"
and her children believed it.
America said, "Have as much as you want,"
and her children said, "more."
America said, "Don't look at those dirty people,"
and her children went over to dance with them.
America said, "Put on a suit and go to work,"
and her children fucked in the mud.
America said, "Everything is in order,"
and her children formed a pit of thrashing bodies.
America said, "Numb yourself,"
and her children slit their flesh open.
So then America said, "You can't have any more."
And her children came after her.
