Toasting—drunkenly saluting— Atomic Aunt

Jemima blowing up every anguished UN plea

0 love for Bassackwards Tribe shrieking

Wildly for Raytheon’s Raven, flapping

White phosphorus wings over

Our planet, cawing, “War forever more!”

0 love for Bassackwards Tribe celebrating

Bought and bossed Capitalist Hill

House Negroz—schlepping skunk

Resisters!  At war with us unruly midwives of the

World where we can breathe …
