THE FLAG OF MY INTOLERANCE

Oh how I dig these anorectic chicks
with varicose veins, thick silicone lips,
fat plasticized tits, vapid elastic brains,

their stuccoed condos, neutered
computerized casitas with American
flags purchased at WalMart
by frequent shopper repeaters

drooping limp as cooked vermicelli
from paint flaked balconies
in grayish curtains of rain.

The wet red white and blue
salutes the innocent slain:

high flying falcons fallen
flat onto hot soaked asphalt,
squirrels squished immobile
under rolling rubbery Michelins

by drunken at-fault pickup
truck drivers, gun racked,
half deaf, bald skulled,
counterfeit grinners,

big ears glued
to countrified honky-tonk
music, they holler
and hoot off-tune,
an unhallowed refrain.
