Pizza
Dominoes comes to deliver pizza to my neighbor
She lives alone and has bad feet
bad ankles
and legs
She weighs too much
but she keeps eating that lousy pizza
an entire pie just for her
Recall Election
The voters recalled the Tea Party school board members
We didn’t know they were a Tea Party conspiracy
when we elected them
They hid their true selves
But the truth came out when they wanted to buy textbooks
that rewrote American history in a way that
covered over all sins
that made us seem like a bright and shiny
city on a hill
instead of a nation of genocidal murderers
They wanted to rewrite the science books too
They wanted to teach the kids that God created the Earth
in six days about six thousand years ago
and that God smiles on our murderous souls
and wants us to continue in our ways
No Sodom and Gomorrah in His mind these days
Jesus loves us and everything we do
in His name
But the Jefferson County voters knew better
and told the Tea Party members to fuck off
They recalled them
and put in new school board members
who have more sense
and I say that this is a victory
one few and far between
in our new non-democratic
oligarchic empire
