the empty theater!
the actors

"crowd upon the stage"
but the writer has fled
(afraid of the censors)

the set designer
is working on
setting up a scene

of mass slaughter
and war

replacing pixar imagry
with real bodies
as orderedΒ Β to
by the WAR MACHINE

people having *** with either ***
indiscriminatingly

and JUSTICE is for sale openly
in the court rooms
and the legislature

the actors cannot play human beings
because they have never
been one or
seen one

the writers have fled sanity
and the censors

the theater is empty now
only the graveyards
have ""clientele"

mother earth is dying

only lovers
like myself
are feeling well
