Yellow Press
the conversation continues to whither
some pugilistic pundits
from the tele’ and ‘net
have chosen to seal their thoughts
in a vault labeled 1955
a majority must die first, then we can talk
otherwise, suburbia and the Hamptons
could give a damn
video footage will annoy us with truth
Nubian kings and queens
gunned down in their homes
how dare they sleep, how dare they play
disrupting our extra-marital affairs
our children’s soccer games
what was that
what did you say
discuss or disgust
no matter, we are patriots
therefore, it must be the latter
