The water leeches its lead,<br />
Flowing down the strip mine scar.<br />
A fiery freight car carries the lost<br />
To the pyre on the River of the Dead.<br />
In this deconstruction of the administrative state,<br />
We’re all going to be deconstructed, destructed and<br />
Tossed into the mass grave of alternative facts.<br />
What did you expect?<br />
THIS WEEK IN HISTORY<br />
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed on the internet.<br />
Branded crazy, dumb as stumps, goaded, extorted.<br />
Bullied and sullied in an abject abuse of power,<br />
Fruit flies, dissected on a slide.<br />
I heard your lies—<br />
You, insatiate demon,<br />
You will not take my voice,<br />
Your tiny talons may claw my eyes<br />
But I will not sign your parchment.<br />
I heard the river Lethe—<br />
Its black murmur grows to a rush,<br />
Ferrying me on foam rapids<br />
To some crazed misogynistic alternative reality.<br />
The tabloids become real news—<br />
That reveal all,<br />
While the rest is fake.<br />
Narcissistic hypocrisy blackens the sky.<br />
Go on, grab my pussy.<br />
I can take it.<br />
Rant on my bloody facelift,<br />
My menstrual cycle.<br />
The moon, the moon holds my power.<br />
We are more than body parts and functions.
