will stare you in the eye
from every newspaper,
from every mirror you pass,
from every line of desperate
horny graffiti
scrawled on dirty bathroom stall doors
for the holy cunt
of a roadside whore
named Mary.
USA waste of Ohio
will tell you that "E.T" began a generation,
and that Wal-Mart ended it,
and will tell you that Wall Street,
fast-food counters, bar stools,
obituaries and home-town flings
is what's become of it.
USA waste of Ohio
will chop chop chop you down
from police helicopters
patrolling urban streets,
will close the libraries early,
create policy to prevent you
from writing desperate
horny graffiti
for "love," on brick walls.
And, USA waste of Ohio
will tell you that
red, white and blue
are just the colors
of another can of Budweiser beer.
