ROOM:10.19
THERE GOES
by Polly Weissman
There goes
another bald-faced lie
and
there goes the bald eagle
and the shadow banking grows
as the kids in cages die
while the man who couldn’t remember the name of
his own department
halts
the money meant to halt
nuclear waste
from oozing toward the Colorado
but with bravado haste
the blame the blame the blame
yanking the chains
of schmoozing fellow puppeteers
so everything is someone else’s fault
when the swamp shapeshifts instead of drains
and there goes the Golem
as the shadow of the pointing finger grows
