Sitting On the Sideline
why do we fuss as we die
where a germ started from
the job of the president was to stop it
from getting here
spreading out and killing us
does a president after a rocket attack
sit on the sideline
watching its markings close up and
pointing out that the rocket came from
a lab or factory in an unfriendly country
as we are laid out
