leslie, emphasis on the lie

walden freeman

entire blimps full of mimes
and make-up
are sharpshooting down
to our pretty planet
as god sees fit
to use them as pinatas
while we roll out
the red carpet-
bombed city streets
will not last long

everything leads to new york from here

the sidewalks, the cracks,
the fences,
and the grass
on the other side
is grangrener
and telling of tragedy
and telling
fire stories
of buildings . . .
it cannot catch on

fire is a trend that cannot catch on
