WHAT'S LEFT TO SHOCK THE CHILDREN



little book

of big ideas

written small

and coming fast

the effect

of chewing gum

wrapper art.

the spindle-arms

of all night market

haunts

and fast-food

parking lot attendees

a spree of empty, tasty

calories


and fair-market

memories

when sundays

closed the door

on commerce's

battle with the Lord

for domination dominoed.


our kids

vie

for the mystery

solved

and die for what the idea

became.


the partnerships 

of blood-thirsty

men in suits

and money-hungry

jute-jumpered mommas' boys.
