sit
in booths
between fried oreo stands
bounce houses
and people selling plastic figurines
they sit and smile
and are impervious to sun and rain
to the ten bands on the street
all playing shitty beatles covers at once
they look like
they’re made of wax
dumb smiles all around
that one is pro-choice
that one is pro-life
this one has a banner
that says love is love is love
but doesn’t really say anything at all
they sit there
at their cluttered tables
with flags and stacks of papers before them
the politicians at the street festival
papers full of all of the items
they stand for or are against
more trees have died for their agendas
than one could hazard to count
and they would be
the biggest idiots here
if it weren’t for all of the people walking around
dumb smiles all around
that one is pro-choice
that one is pro-life
this one has a banner
that says love is love is love
but doesn’t really say anything at all
they sit there
at their cluttered tables
with flags and stacks of papers before them
the politicians at the street festival
papers full of all of the items
they stand for or are against
more trees have died for their agendas
than one could hazard to count
and they would be
the biggest idiots here
if it weren’t for all of the people walking around
eating hot dogs
and fried dough
all of the clueless citizens who voted
these grinning hucksters into office
in the first
goddamned place.
