Notes About The Poem

Let's not turn this into a free for all. I am just having fun! P L E A S E!!

Toxic State

TOXIC STATE

hunched, amidst creative ash:

H.D.’s sulphuric shell -

pieces of a deranged puzzle.

all           the president’s men

scratch their hairless heads.

they had thought to build a wall -

but no one in town owns a brick.
