Untitled (#1)

Kenneth DiMaggio

Welcome to America
where Jesus has a gun
and his mother Mary
wishes she had aborted
her son

What shall I call you sir?
Professor?
Mister?
Ken?

How about just calling me
a cab so that I can get
out of here

Roller coaster & a nervous
breakdown

Luckily for me
my recovery was through
oxycodone instead of
fundamentalism

A B and C

They can have a lot more
meaning when you use them
and other letters to create words
but—

The savior now comes with
an automatic rifle while his
mother must live with the regret
of how she failed to save humanity
