OF A AMERICA

    IN A LAURELESS 

PAST

   SELF-EVIDENT AS INDIVIDUAL

 AS INDIVISIBLE 

     CONTINUALLY CRUMBLING CONTEXTS

   WITHOUT GREATNESS 

NO DUE COURSE

EVEN THE PRESIDENTIAL TWEET STORM OF THE DAY

HAD NO ALLEGIANCE  

BUT DISCOURSE 

(OF SOUND BYTES)

 LIKE STONES 

TO THE BOTOM OF MIRE

WE THE PEOPLE 

  THE INANE & INATE  

SINK

UPON MYSELF

ANOTHER MOLD IS CAST

ALL INTERESTS FOREIGN OR OTHERWISE 

WILL GO DOWN 

TOGETHER 

REFUSING TO REST UNTIL 

AUTONOMY AND AGENCY FOR ALL
