poem for a new nation

kneecapping buffoons
might have been
your laurel crown
but here the bag of vomit
has replaced his own
taut bladder doll on a stick
with some squeaks
on which the lowest
regulations are begging
to perform

calumny
is not enough
wait wait
Serment du Jeu
de Paume
una bambina legge
serpent please
get thee behind me

humans are a kind of
ridiculous trouble
kneecapping buffoons
might have been
your laurel crown
but here's the bag
of vomit
