                                                                                                      Ian pimp slaps Governor Woke Smoke—

                                                                                                                       and The People pay

 

Black barbershop north of

Mexican border, south of

Canadian border, between Pacific

and Atlantic an Ancestor intones,

“De Lawd wurk in strange ways…”

Customers co-sign, “Karma’s a bitch—”

“Payback’s a mutha-fukkka…”

They watched Ian rushing 155mph dumping rain

deluging the Sunshine State—where “Woke-ism

goes to die!” They watched Black men shovel sand

into burlap bags as their families hunker in harm’s

way… They watched a cynical sadist,

confederate cotton mouth, don state sealed jacket and

order those with two quarters, crumpled dollar bill and

pennies in their pockets to

“Evacuate…”

They watched Ian rushing 155mph dumping rain

like Governor Woke Smoke dumped

Immigrants up south—Millions spent on cruel

and unusual punishment! Deluging the rich’s and

wannabe rich’s ‘sanctuary city’ playgrounds with

Salt of the earth…

They watched Ian rushing 155mph dumping rain

in the Age of Capitalist Climate Catastrophe/Once

Every Thousand Year Events: Weekly…

They watched Ian rushing 155mph dumping rain

Complimenting

War of The Week; school shooting of the day; viral

blue snuff videos; Along with pandemic profiteering…

They watched Ian rushing 155mph dumping rain

floating fancy cars in waist-high holy waters

yanking yachts from moorings, tossing them

like two year-olds’ bathtub toy tantrums—turning

marinas into junkyards for yachts; ripping roofs off

Lego condos—Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine-style

They watched Ian rushing 155mph dumping rain

cloaked in Critical Race Theory—and again

Exposing the ugly underbelly of gunpowder-ed real

estate deals! Centuries of slavery/generations of

Jim Crow shrink-wrapped crimes of corporate

carbon

Externalizing machines! Bad actor/extractor-emitter

exploiter/polluters and tethered puppet politicians—

Planet impactors flaring, scraping Mother Earth’s womb!

Digging her up!Pumping her Sahara dry! Heating her al

ready overheated body beyond… the tipping point…

They watched Ian rushing 155mph dumping rain

solidarity-saturated. It slammed citizens into the

‘Same Boat—’

No one caring how they Vote; what they’re Wearing; Driving,

Drinking; Church they go; School they

owe...
