Dear Citizen

Yash Seyedbagheri

Dear citizen,
you drank white wine for lunch,
while sneezing. Congratulations
on superfluous snot sentences, while
Cheetos make America hate again,

you took a monster sized dump, too,
congratulations, such significance
to souls separated at the borders,
children of abuse. light slams
against walls Mexico won’t pay for.

Dear citizen,
you liked a post from Congressman X or Y,
inequality while you drove your BMW,
sneered at sobbing mamas in Dodge Stratuses.
so much effort to like, but to get out
to feel, to fight,
save that for tomorrows perpetually procrastinated.

and you posted about the sandwiches,
underwear you wore,
lace lavender, nonetheless
how you smelled of sweat,
while blood-red MAGA caps rose into the sky,

dear citizen,
take off the underwear,
stop drinking the wine,
write about the bitterness, the calluses,
souls waiting for scapegoat time,
but you drank white wine,
congratulations
