Aunt J died today
High priestess of pancakes
And corn syrup disguised as sap
One hundred and thirty one years old
Cut down in her prime market position
Had long lost the bandana
But the pearl earrings and new do
Couldn’t hide mammy
Uncle B is in critical review
And not expected to survive the pandemic
Was it Black Lives Matters or #MeToo
That did them both in?
No, it’s just so long over due
Indian and Chinese troops
Are fighting each other
With sticks and stones
On the border of No Where and Fuck You
Killing each other like cave men
High in the Himalayas
In a pre-nuclear winter that’s outlasted spring
What? Good news? Phase Two!
Shorter lines and penetrate to purchase
Goodbye grab and go life
Please cops be cool
People will get together
To party, protest or perform
Welcome, frightened suckers
This is your new norm
