Rioting From a Recliner
I must admit I do enjoy watching the country unravel at times
That's what spices up a mundane life
makes us appreciate calmer times.
How I do enjoy watching the uncoiling mayhem
Martin Luther Kings and Drama queens
trying to ignite a darker form of change
(passive resistance and civil disobedience be damned).
How I do enjoy watching the uncoiling mayhem,
a combat sport at its very finest.
A twitchy thin blue battle line versus
a pulsing cluster of malcontents...
A mixologist's dream:
tumblers of tear gas
Molotov on the rocks
pockets of flaming shots -
Goblets of salt-rimmed shattering glass -
whirling cherry bombs and baton.
Wrestling matches-naval shots and Bloody Mary lips.
The Blue Man Group atop Battle horses
sirens and flares inter-coursing...
Wish I had the balls to join in the fun.
But I do the next best thing,
steer my recliner straight into the fracas.
