A NY THING

And yes
You WILL burn in hell
For your resolute
Resistance to see
This thing was slowly moving
Toward our grandmothers
 
            (may the universe transform my hatred into a Wonderwoman lasso around her)

Broadcasting its damned intent
 
                  ...Slow like TV movie zombie horde
 
                                           ...Slow enough to give you time to do
 
                                                             ...A N Y T H I N G...
 
You preened for the press
In the self-appointed
Chest-beating
Metropolis heart
Of America
 
While we watched
The day come on like molasses
 
              (now T minus 3)
 
When someone needing
Help to breathe-
 
              A normal thing,
              An old technology-
 
Would be sentenced to die-
 
              A NY thing,
 
                                     Apparently.
