The Summer of We're Against Everything
Some Americans costumed in Ninja suits
And others schlubbing under red plastic caps
Shoot, loot, stab, grab, scream, steam, pass gas, and grasp
Our herd immunity against compassion
Revolution selfied and Instagrammed
Presented through Facebook, nourished with Starbuck’s
Seasoned with tear gas, well-stirred with clubs and shields
Spray-painting Joan of Arc with “Tear it Down!” 1
But of all the things we’re against, dear brother
We seem to be mostly against
each other
1 This was in fact a 2017 event: https://aleteia.org/2017/08/17/joan-of-arc-caught-up-in-statue-toppling-movement/
