VILLAIN

VILLAIN

each of us are a villain
in some origin story

my phone alarm sings
celestial cosmic sounds
at 5.20
    in the morning
(exact
   moment I was born
making me an
ascendant Aquarian)

and news of airstrikes
all over the media

preparations
   for the SuperBowl, one
week away to see
which team of
scarlet supremos

will
   be champions of the world

the world
being America, it is a
killer synecdoche,

poet as villain

      not with you
thetefore against you

further from grace
with my every little diatribe
