MAD DOG

Roving abandoned doglike because I’m a rebel full-throated, longing to return to Offa’s time

I’m living in caves, burying my relations in elaborate mound graves

I’m planting bombs in foundries to take out Mako reactors, mad activist

Axe to wrist, squirts ketchup liquid and I squint before he’s spent, I pass the fingerprint test

Messy like I’m taking down a cheap tent, bend supporting beams until his back snaps

He’s full of holes like a hundred golf courses, bleeding from multiple sources

Had a belated abortion at forty, a war casualty

From darkness multiple torches blinking a beretta and two desert eagles sinking lead, taking chest portions off like they were performing test soundings in flesh

Banshee busy singing.


Swear they saw shots from the grassy knoll but lawmen don’t support it, deem unimportant

Snip off tasty bits from Zapruder tapes, pen off the whole thing with red tape and let Warren’s hearings take care of the rest

Tame the crowd with a taser and tear gas if we have to

I’m emerging from the crowd with a sawn off shotgun, taking faces off political actors.
