Biden Time

by Kirby Olson (July 2022)


Untitled, Zdzisław Beksiński, 1956

 

Machine guns blow out windows
Helicopters rake the roofs
The last soldier in Afghanistan
Cowers in a basement
Rereading the NY Post
For the 11,000 time
As Biden’s son pens a memoir
While jerked off by whores
Who are paid by the minute
In favors from the polity
As the social media police cruise
And poltroons on CNN offer news.
