Why does my multicultural applauding message,
my polycultural cheerleading,
sound so monocultural chant, rant,
a passionless litany of redundant verse?

Who would have it said of their voice
It remains both too rich
and yet wandering on far too long?

Even resonance

I saw you on The Daily Show
the other day
having your way

this past Sunday morning
a woman I had met in choir

Her dad came over from Ireland
because he wanted better business opportunities

and did I really care
of what there was...

When will we gain the wisdom to survive
this disturbing 
degenerate
NegativEnergy
adolescent denialism
of fascist climate-bullying tendencies
toward shrieking violence
