No. 214: Two Different Worlds

When bi-coastal elites disparage Trump tweets
with nose out of joint, are we missing the point?

Although your average reporter
knows Puerto Rico's surrounded by water,
mid-Americans haven't a notion
what a sea looks like. (Not to mention an ocean!)

Even those who have seen a Great Lake
may think anything larger must be a fake.
It isn't strange they deny climate change,
years barely vary home on the range.

They. Pray. Gay. Away.
We see Broadway musicals — even on Sunday!
We go to orgies, they to church suppers.
They read their Bibles. We pop our uppers.

The twain, so they say, never shall meet
'til YHWH sits on His judgment seat.
If Donnie exchanges missiles with Kim.
our fate may not depend on God's whim.

If Donnie and Kim set the whole world aflame,
when the dust settles we'll all be the same.
Survivors will be equally attractive.
(And more than a little radioactive.)
