When Fascism Becomes Fashionable


When Fascism Becomes Fashionable

flames are all that is required
to pull the thumbs
off
a free society

flames and the redefining of
any and all words
that describe
the enemy

78 years after
the burning of
the reichstag in germany
two large matchsticks
are lit

in a state of emergency
rules are tossed
to the side of the road
like the carcass
of a holiday turkey

what is that sound
I hear
it is corporations
goose-stepping through
my neighborhood

I recognize
who is out front
of the drones
in uniforms
even without
his fucking mustache
