Looking down at Jesoo crushed in the gutter

Fritz Hamilton

Looking down at Jesoo crushed in the gutter by
the corporate truck of Halliburton, BP, Bethel, &
the rest of the Good Old Boys, the wheel of

money on Jesoo’s impoverished face/ his blood
gushing out his crumbled bones to run down the
gutter into the sewer to be lost with the rats &

gators/ Jesoo still whimpering for his Daddy sleeping
it off in the hallowed bedroom with giggly
naked angels crawling all over Him, too

satisfied & content to appreciate that His son lies
beneath a wheel of the corporate truck/ Jesoo
wishing he was still on the cross instead of

suffering quite this much/ a merciful angel
sucks the juice from his bellybutton, but the
juice has dried, & cord & button rot stuck

befouled in his teeth making
him sicker/ the
truck won’t drive off him until he gives it his riches, but
Jesoo’s as poor as the souls to which he ministers, &

who cares if you crush the poor?/ Sarah Palin has her
Tea Party in the truck/ of course, Jesoo’s not invited/ her
daughter’s there dancing with the stars & exposing the

Tea Party as clumsy & foolish/ Dick Cheney’s there with
his pockets stuffed with the nation’s trillions, pushing
George W in a baby buggy/ the party rages all night until

Jesoo & the street are one/ he’s filled one pothole with
his forsaken soul, enabling the truck a smooth
RIDE to

holy PERDITION ...
