have
found a way
to shake inside their
iron boots
& still let everyone
think
that their
benevolence
is in
fact
matter-of-fact
with everyone
eating
at
the trough
diving into a new bag of
monsanto hash
spread evenly
egalitarian in fact they
say
unless of course your
food stamps
have already run
out
or
you don't have bus fare
or your bones are too
cold
to
get up from under the covers
since they turned off the
heat
and for every iron boot
pair
with
or without the make-believe
there are 99 barefoot
pairs
waiting for spring
