Alchemy of money
transforming repulsive,
ugly, hideous human forms into
Powerful producers, reality TV stars,
Super predator presidents,
Multimillionaire quarterbacks,
Elected officials, political operatives,
Oscar-winning actors—
boys being boys
following footsteps of
The Founding Fathers:
He stepped up to
the auction block and
grabbed her breast, her pussy;
As part of doing business—so
stealing away from the big house
in wee hours,
slipping into darkness
an unwanted hand under an
unsuspecting dress, into pants
groping, penetrating, any time, any
Kidnapped
body he bought, sold, owned,
Was part of doing business—
slamming her coca-colored face
into his unwashed crotch,
fulfilling his fantasies,
Wasn’t out of the ordinary:
Powerful producers, reality TV stars,
Super predator presidents,
Multimillionaire quarterbacks,
Elected officials, political operatives,
Oscar-winning actors
have big shoes to fill:
following footsteps of
The Founding Fathers
