Cable(d)

Fox News turns
clock irrelevant  
as night and day  
meld into fear.  
If no surprises from the  
current King’s reign  
nor no left-leaning bastion unseated,  
certainly then we should expect  
to see more poor immigrants,  
to read faces of rapists  
in those of the desperate.  
Why must they be so  
Brown?  
What could they be after?  
My comfortable home  
shutters in around me.  
The land upon which it sits  
moans in ancient tongues  
of those long before.  
Why do Brown people still  
come? Who will  
surrender their shutters    
and cede them  
one more morning?
