broken oven, etc.
i think
my oven is left-leaning
lately, it refuses to work
and the fridge drips
from the freezer
in solidarity and protest
you can read about a lot of atrocities
from day to day
mass shootings and massive bombs
but you never read
about someone driven to the brink
by faulty plumbing
or the first whiff of a gas leak
america is hard enough
on a daily basis
without having to deal with another
broken appliance too
appliances should last forever here
it would balance always having to sift through the shit
dodging bullets at school and work
and people saying good morning on the street
but the oven is broken
and the fridge leaks
and the blinds in the kitchen
are falling down again
it is already 95-degrees in may
and somewhere
someone
is buying another automatic weapon
and walking into a school or your job
to cause more automatic death
so maybe fuck the broken oven
and maybe fuck america
too.
