when a comedian becomes a president
and teachers start making molotov cocktails
which borders come down and what prices go up?
upside down world, truth and history swirl in fog
why is death the only event that brings
humans into focus? and then only
the death of some and not of others?
upside down world, sleeping in the subways
fathers turned back at the borders
hearing their kids crying in fear and heartbreak
intravenous news trumpets a horror show reality
of an upside down world, shattering families
shattering countries, as hungry ghosts
stagger about, gorging themselves on destruction
weapons arms dealers gloat and sip their icy drinks
both falcon and falconer gone, lost in the din of war
