Swampy

swampy
muggy
trashy
thuggy
red
white
and blue
misconstrued
eyes glued
to puppets
on small screens
gun racks
in big trucks
bumper sticks claiming
The South Will Rise Again!
Bob Wills is Still the King!
litter all over the roadside
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Show your Support
Wear stars and stripes
every Tuesday
light a candle and let the world see it
blah
blah
blah
we live here
we hear the sermons
we survive it all
somehow
La Suprema on Friday night
a matinee on Saturday
browsing the books at
Books-A-Million
watching videos
planning our next move
if I had an 8mm camera
I'd put it on film
for it is truly
not
to
be
believed
"Strange days, indeed"
said the Walrus
but that was long ago
my sister looks up at the sky
crying
and says
"I told you so."
