Return of the $electable Dead

BAR Poet-in-Residence Raymond Nat Turner

04 Feb 2020

A Leni Riefenstahl film
Written by Dr. Goebbels
Produced by the DNC—
Set in summer in Milwaukee:
“Return of the $electable Dead.” A
cheesy, creepy Capitalist Hill cult
classic of $campaigns, $elections
skullduggery, Dim-witted duplicity

Schmo Biden misses his autopsy and
refuses to check his embalming fluid
and a formulaic film’s in the making—
A bone-chilling horror history full of
Twists and turns, mass incarceration,
capitalist immiseration, coups, sanctions,
invasions, assassinations—nothing new here

The trailer’s trash—engorged with
gratuitous violence—and laden with
special effects—like gory scenes of
Voting machines morphing into
guillotines. And Iron Lady Killary clones,
Schmuck Cheney-Schmo Biden bones
flying up from underground bunkers
marked “Electoral College,” “Wehrmacht
Ghoul School,” where confederate generals
Work disguised as joint chiefs of theft; and
greasy-thumbed accountants are counting
kickbacks and pallets full of $100 bills…

The film’s most compelling scene:
Robert E. Lee’s horse’s head is on the
Drone Ranger’s bed with pubic hair from
Long Dong Silver’s/Thom-ass Clarence’s
Coke can; the Führer’s fake passport;
Goebbels clubfoot; a loaded Luger and
red MAGAT hat emblazoned with bars,
stars, skull and crossbones, chalk white…
Spoiler: the film features full frontal nudity:
Rudi Ghouliani sitting trance-like, pouring
over ghost detainee threat levels and enemy
combatant enemas from the Terror on War
While practicing his stentorian Sieg Heils!
