Nostalgia for A Time That Never Was, Or, Briefly There Was A Childhood (#5)
Kenneth DiMaggio
Pow!
Ka-Blam!
Pop!
Bang!
Did the bullet
come from today?
From
a toy
or real gun?
From a boy like
me who pretended
to rob banks?
Where there was
no more frontier
for a myth like
Jesse James?
So let the drag queen
read The New Testament
to a classroom of pre-school
kids
There is no more
Wild wild wild
And Capitalism
is now the bank
that robs you
