SORRY OUT OF SERVICE
SORRY OUT OF SERVICE
Thus saith the comma-less
yellow plastic bags
Fitted to the gasoline
pumps of the nation
Where men are free from
fuel and punctuation
Free not to take vaccines,
wear masks, or vote
SORRY OUT OF SERVICE
The check is in the mail
that does not come
Or maybe in a hijacked
delivery truck
Silhouetted by a burning
liquor store
Where dreams of lottery
winnings go to die
SORRY OUT OF SERVICE
And there’s nothing left
in the looted shops
(Let’s blame the teachers,
Asians, and cops)
