Sometimes, I feel like I’m dragging
around a bipedal bag of meat
for no reason.

Everywhere I look, there is
conflict. Either it’s a comic
taking easy shots at the coming tyrants,
(oh, they’re coming), or it’s an angry white
male with a microphone, restoring order
with a padlock and keys and a combination.
