Two Political Campaign Signs Set on Fire
-news item
Perhaps
that’s all the fire they’ve got this year
Obediently
yapping into the dark
In
camouflage knee-pants and plastic shoes
Both
sides agreeing only in their hate
If
they were to exchange their campaign tees
No
one could tell them apart, not even themselves
Demanding
that each other be locked up
With
locks long since rusted, keys long since lost
Cheap
disposable lighters fueled with cheap beer -
Perhaps
that’s all the fire they’ve got this year
