A poem for Anne Boyer
Do yoga and vote
Huff the fumes of the bile of your enemies from a garbage bag and vote
Do yoga deep in the wet recesses of the bag and vote
Go un-vegan as a consequence of that experience and vote
Tend to the wounds of others as a fox tends to the stump of its own leg it chewed free from the trap set by a yoga class and vote
Reset the trap in the proximity of a polling station and vote
Tie matte stones around the necks of pigeons and vote
Describe that activity and all others as basically ornamental and vote
Give up smoking and vote
Take it back with all the tenderness you can muster and vote
Watch slow curls of grey spill forth from what you falsely called stones and vote
Remember that you have performed this entire set of activities on the outskirts of Aleppo and vote
Listen for the sound of necks coming apart in hands of air and vote
Litter the fields of the living like ex-birds and vote
Buy in bulk the 22” Panga machete with a 440 stainless steel blade for only $3.19/unit when placed in orders of more than 48 and vote
Donate machetes to organized whores and vote
Tie a bag of aged rain over the head of your local police officer and vote
Set traps for tourists and vote
Arm the scugnizzi with full bottles and empty chains and vote
Take down any monument to wealth that shines ceaseless through the night into the eyes of the bedrooms where the kids are sleeping and vote
Take it down to the foundation and then further than that and vote
Take it down with swarms of birds wired to blow and vote
Pick up slow the Innu children who fall to the tundra floor with bags of gasoline held to their mouths and vote
Join the children in their ceaseless laughter at the tourists gnawing themselves free and vote
Get yourself off rough and ragged in the proximity of a downed drone and vote
Enucleate each and every security camera in the United Kingdom with jagged parts torn ragged from the belly of a drone and vote
Make small arms from the sightless hulls of the cameras and distribute them amongst the families of North Waziristan and vote
Repeat the process and vote
Break down weeping? at the remaining tendrils of a bird in a red fresco in a room beside the street in Pompeii through which the puking earth passe and vote
Steal that fragment of fresco and vote
Grind it up only to find that it was composed of rotten bird and vote
Place it beneath the weight of a city and vote
Wait for it to become coal and vote
Kill time and vote
Lock the doors of a Bikram studio from the outside and giggle and vote
Strip time's carcass for parts and vote
Draw forth the past fresco and vote
Insert many grains of coal dust beneath your skin so as to resemble a new vein to be mined for fire and vote
Get lit and vote
Watch the unions of organized whores gather along the barbed border fence with machetes and bags in hand and pause once for breath through their masks to keep out and in the smoke and begin their work and vote
