(JCH -- 7/93-7/97)
What does it mean when
Americans put soundbites and slogans
on the bumpers of their imported cars
in mute support of their latest cause
like a favorite sports team
or a school once attended?
Jerry Springer married Jenny Jones
and gave birth to a three-headed she-male
who was raised by wolves in the depleted rain forest
before being rescued by Sting.
And Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon retired
and bought out the Japanese.
Now they’re all white Americans
unsure of their sexuality
with heroin addictions
and the beeper numbers
to their favorite psychotherapists.
And Jerry Fallwell, of Jerry Fallwell,
is scared of Bill Clinton.
He says the homosexuals
are trying to take over the world.
He’d like to put them all in a jail cell
with Jim Bakker
when he sits on God’s right hand side.
I can’t take this shit anymore!
Feels like I’m going down
to a burning pit
down in the bowels of a fire-breathing dragon.
Oh, what I'd give to get myself on Headline News,
anything to add color to a dreary life.
