Made in America it says
Underneath my wool cap: Made in America
I’m wearing in on top of my head, leaks into all the involuntary parts
And forms a nest egg
Made in America plenty to go around, on the street and intersections
Elects to find a nest egg
Cradled by its loyal subjects
Made in America, on boats now to find other homes
Fit for travel now
Waiting to interject other nest eggs like a spider in a web
Swaying with the waves, nobody in the ocean, fish can’t understand
Made in America, like a grand BOOM outside your door
Ruined another wedding
Collapsed another home
Made in America runs your car, gets you to work, and picks up your kids
Made in America, lifted up my hat and found another bomb
Made in America, proud to be buried with the guns again
Sometimes I say it differently
