America
nobody told you
the Universe
loves irony

dramatic, cosmic, satirical,
irony in each and every
size
shape
and form

America
nobody told you
about the nature
of irony,
gave you a clue
a working definition

or maybe they did
and it slipped your mind
or you contrived
to forget it

having such exclusively,
crucially important priorities,
a destiny to make
manifest,
which you didn’t
quitecunderstand at all
