–For Iris, Rio, Sara, Gorio, Wylder, Mesa, Skyler, Benny, George & all our offspring
Iron on ironic to this worn Freebox hoodie
as we start the New Year of my ‘80s
not unlike the ‘60s in its stormy forebodings
back when we danced around in flowers & tie-dye
while pols & preachers were being assassinated
Jackson State students & Kent State kids
“Got my bile up,” barked McRedeye
as we bombed Cambodia, Hanoi
Gen. Waste-more-land & fucking My Lai
Building nuclear power plants
Promoting cocaine & nicotine while
demonizing cannabis & entheogens
A pressure cooker about to blow
that didn’t. That cooled down
Maybe it will get so bad
it’ll get good again
