GORGONZOLA

GORGONZOLA

first Venezuela
then Nambia

and, penultimately,
Gorgonzola and the Queendom of
God Knows Where

lastly, of course, and
indeed terminally,
he of total superhero
comic power
will
be coming for us
dialing our number
(over lunch
        cracking the launch codes
fastest flight to
Johannesburg
   and has been told
confidence is good)

take us to task for all
we think is equality, democracy,
but are assured
is white genocide

and all our dreams of
a fully cooperative multi-
polar world

and Trevor Noah
over there in the States
with his digs at
neo-liberalism and
revived
white supremacy

things we are going to
have to pay
for

God being made
in America’s image,
and all
    that stoked up
wrath
    in an
incandescent ball

first Venezuela
then Gorgonzola
          the hot
cheese melting but

the fries
are going to fall
