Yesterday
there was another attempted
coup.
People are still running blind
targeting the latest scapeleaders
in the game of
neocolonial chairs
grooming more aching psyches
to play redeemer
trying individual cures for
social cancers
they keep straining to slash apart
the current ruling knot
in what they hope to call
a relatively bloodless
coup
they dream of substituting
another small tight group
for the one serving its bitter time
at the tip of
the overripe colonial abscess
on this sliver of our continental home
we’ve been conned into calling
our state.
