look deep into my sighs

look deep into my sighs





i have to sigh
sometimes
when
my fellow americans
assume
to know too much
and high horses
resemble
trojan dessert courses
laced 
in good intentions
of
swollen goiters
as
they flip flop
diverting side glances
at
the fireworks displays.


i sigh
and
say okay
this is the way we play
at 
being dramatic.
