Propaganda

Kenneth DiMaggio

Propaganda is the writing that shows
how everybody is trying to be like
Mr. and Mrs. Popular but your television
is a hallucinogenic window and the rest
of the world does not want to live
in the scripted conformity of a suburban
American high school

And when they are not waging war
the Joint Chiefs of Staff are bagging
the unidentified remains of soldiers at
the cocaine white shopping mall

And when they are not shopping
Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class pour pieces
of Antarctica into their cocktails
while barbecuing tracts of the rain
forest for their neighbors who are
mannequins because they have read
the best selling novel and because
you have not

you get to live with the two headed
frogs and other mutated amphibio-
reptiles in the contaminated trailer
court where each inmate gets
a satellite dish to watch
previously rehearsed live
wrestling and religion

Oh��don’t tell me your
ideology or your religious
affiliation��just quit
your job and let someone else
clean up the mess

the future��is not our responsibility

the future��is our ongoing art project
titled��Anarchy
