Mama, Medicaid, 'Merica.


MAMA, MEDICAID, 'MERICA

   By Ordure of The Court
   NOTICE: Kingliness
   is next to godliness.

   Pitch the scrubbucket.
   Lay down
   your soap. Give up.

   Take a seat.
   The gutter will do,
   or the floor.

      Poor yourself
      a think.

   Mangle all options,
   ablate all hope.
   Invite the looters.

   Arrange for pallbearers.
   Snake hands
   with Uncle Sam.

   Vanish.

   Vamoose.

   Salute.

--Robert Nazarene
