A Four-Part Haiku on Speaking American

I.

America: cold
crisp canned corn syrup hiding
sweet yellow jackets

II.

does your freedom taste
American, amber waves
distilled for sipping?

III.

pop bottles on the
corner of 4th and Fuck Your
Fables Boulevard

IV.

crawl to river banks
bloodied mud-lined shores lapping
blue waves, fire: works
