Thanks for a continent to despoil
and poison.
Thanks for Indians to provide a
Modicum of challenge and
danger.
Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and falsify until
the bare lies shine through
Thanks for the KKK.
…or decent church-goin’ women,
with their mean, pinched, bitter,
evil faces.
Thanks for “Kill a Queer
for Christ” stickers.
Thanks for a country where
nobody’s allowed to mind their
own business.
Thanks for a nation of finks.
Thanks for the last and greatest
betrayal of the last and greatest
of human dreams.
Happy holidays!
