Humpty Dumpty


Sirens wail, red and blue lights flash.
Marshall McLuhan
foresaw the invention
of the internet 
and declared TV was cool
but did not predict this. 
White girls listen to rap
(Or is it a nursery rhyme?)
and smoke cigarettes at the pool.
The dinosaurs and dollar stores in DC 
all carry guns.
The death and unemployment rate is up.

'Humpty Dumpty sat on Trump’s wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All of the DC horses
and all of Trump’s men
could not put Humpty 
together again.'
