America, as Fiction
white flag, white flags everywhere. we surrender, whitey. “are you a Jesuit? a nigger? a fag?” they will ask before they build the wall, throwing Budweiser beer cans over, celebratin’ the migration of aborted fetus membranes being stuck inside platinum fences
look at our democracy. how it works: you can be detained for being Muslim, for being Syrian, for being born a color (other than chalk.) look at us. look at us. this has always been a lie. this is not new news. the magic got King shot. they will always shoot down the magical. the America we were raised on — pig fat intestines. they are cutting out uterus’, they are dangling Black dick out of open windows with the bath water, too. believe it
you will be by the water cooler, Dick/Jane jacking off to pictures of dead brown people bodies, asking “do you remember where you were when the ban happened? when they closed down the local planned parenthood? the one that was saving lives? you are not Christian? you must die” yeah, you gotta own a Bible. you must give up your rights. you must write only savory, only good, only lies, about a/your president, about the precedent being set. it is sent with waterboarding. you can watch the inferno via Instagram Live — Snapchat — Pay-Per-View from a/your condo
it is sexy to die trying, to try your hand at affirming action with a pistol in a mouth. a handgun tilted towards the constitution = piece of paper; Charmin for a law. this is why we march for women, why we march for Linda, why we march for gays, for Stonewall, for Fred Hampton. Black fist up > Black fistings happening next door, near where they burn sage and bury baby mothers at; where they blanket babies under inauguration trumpet sounds
1. you are invisible until they murder you then you are a criminal 2. you are invisible until they merge your face with another black one another AIDS victim another panhandler 3. you are invisible until they need you to deliver their tacos their sushi their sanity their buildings their pizza their sex 4. you are invisible until they need to get to 86th and Amsterdam in under ten minutes 5. invisible until you whistle at them, until you are fighting, until you pick up a weapon, a speech, a word, a message, an education
