This Is My World / The Sewer

This Is My World / The Sewer

A Poem by Lana

A sex worker wearing pistols in her guts,
A childless woman screaming into the void
Three dead men beating a horse,
A horse riding to get to work

A secretary vomiting into a sewer,
Donald Trump writing "Loser" with clay
A poor man living in a poor land,
Burning down old tech

A crowded subway with waiters holding trays,
Banana peels built like Lego, crossing the window to get to the door
Fried grapes on a plate at a five-star hotel,
Fish with fangs drowning at the surface

The President’s new address is in the countryside,
For a new campaign promoting things
Mickey Mouse masquerading as a dad,
A television set built for a child,
Promoted by dark shadows of wind
A clown walking to a hospital, helping the orphans
And eating their superactive souls like salmon
The world drawing a square while acting like a circle
Demented areas of cancer 
Over and over
