State of our disunion

Tomorrow

on the streets

on our ways to getting paid

you in your red hat and khaki pants

me in my hand-knitted pink pussy cap

the tiki torches in your garage

resting at the supplementary angle that

my rainbow banner lays across my flat

And when we cross each other’s paths

you’ll snicker loudly at my mask

which will then muffle, “kiss my ass”

you’ll raise your shirt so I can see

you’ve got a solution for guys like me

and I will let you see that I

am also a 2nd amendment kind of guy …

And now there’s one place we agree.

We’re armed for our liberty;

me from you and you from me.
