Extra room for overeating anonymous
Some Americans
Look like refrigerators
No wonder
They have eaten
Everything that is inside
For years
Now they are building refrigerators
With extra rooms
the republic rears beef cattle
feeds so well dairy ones
and calves are so fat
slaughters them often
but does not sell
does not eat any
does not export anyway
buries carcasses
in hot refrigerators
To my surprise I did flunk out
Refrigerators now filled with doubt
Food does not fill the void
Now all I do is avoid
Your gaze as my life avoids your clout
"Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty."

It is a new day, before 2, after midnite
It is dark, humid. We have fans, quiet
So too refrigerators, AC, & soon, phones
As it looks likely, the blackout goes on
II
It was so hot & humid, I went outside
Took a plastic chair, a break from inside
Watched faint glows from white farms
As steady rain falls, fog it's art performs
I watch talented chefs on tv
And how they make it look so easy
Massive walk-in refrigerators
Recipes for bold innovators
Freshest produce exotic and rare
Excessive abundance they do prepare
Combining components with finesse
Topping lush dishes with watercress

Little angels lying around
Sprawled out on clouds
In pink and purple pajamas
Against clear blue skies
Cutting and scribbling pictures
Of houses, people, pets, butterflies and trees
Of clouds, stars, the moon, hearts and bees
In all their abstractions and colors
With letters drawn
Backwards and upside down
And in all shapes and sizes
No matter what letters or order
Or what pictures
They spell
LOVE
To be hung on refrigerators
My stomach twists,
Empty.
I'll run to forget the pain,
Busy.
Drinking water helps,
Better.
I go home and shower,
Clean.
My reflection catches my eye,
Fat.
I look away,
Shame.
I flip on the TV.
Bored.
Victoria's Secret ad comes on,
Curious.
Their bodies chiseled into perfection,
Jealous
Tv turned off,
Wishing.
Empty refrigerators will stay,
Almost.
Next workout to burn off more,
Thin.
My stomach wrenches,
Empty.
Torment storms turn light into darkness
A once-bustling steel city now drowns in feebleness
Meanwhile, data centers are on the rise
Yet, there is no power-only murky water, noisome refrigerators, and teary eyes
Looters punching the clock and going to work
Nights and days are frightening with lingering pain and hurt
Stirring echoes of Katrina making its way through the Midwest
Scary. Very scary tensions for all the residents of a city in unrest
