American Gothic (#2)

Kenneth DiMaggio

You can
join the Army
or hold up
the local franchise
selling you
and your family
lucky lottery
tickets
but you will never
get close to the
blonde beauty
stroking the neck
of the bottle
of whiskey
on the billboard
above that has
already begun
to peel and rot
from an invisible
poison
that sooner
rather than
later
will anonymously
kill
you and your
never
lucky family
