PLEDGE
I would have pledged
allegiance
to the planet
but the planet
doesn’t much like me
wants me dead,
or so I fear,
for it
has good reason
so I would pledge
to busy-body about
writinv stupid little satires
like that one
and this one
insread of getting down
on my hands and knees
cleaning
trying to
restore your majesty
restore your glory
all super-
reflective, super shiny
but not your power
I balk at that, have grave
reservations about
what that
power can do
