American Dreams?

Like Franz Kafka, I’m sickly  
& a double Bohemian. Double  
Bohemian is when you have  
Bohemian ancestors & you’re in  
the arts. (See also DOUBLE  
CURSED) Now,   

I don’t want to downplay  
the influence of my Irish ancestors  
& suffering via famine. Some people  
are going hungry in the U.S.  
as I write this, but we aren’t  
supposed to talk about it. The U.S.  
isn’t a first world country anymore.  
It hasn’t been for quite some 

time. It took me longer  
than it should have  
to realize this. I was young  
& pretty & basically  
dropped my brain off  
at a public swimming pool  
for several years.  

I wish my mind was still  
at the pool. I’m so much smarter  
than I used to be. It’s hell.  
I could still put on a bikini  
& look cute, but I might get shot. 

On Labor Day, someone  
will go into labor. But  
it won’t be me. Luckily.  
No children for you, America.  
You can’t get your hands on  
these eggs.

  1. The world is, bad, too danderous, too, ugly, to bring a newborn child into it, and, the sole purpose of, reproduction is so that humans don’t go, extinct, and yet, we humans are, the sources if, all things awful that’s currently, going on right now: wars, global warming, etc., etc., etc. so, it’s for the best, that we stop, reproducing, and, save this, planet from, destruction…
