simple farmer

all the racial jumbies bubbling to the surface of the muck
friends will become enemies again
old threats will be rekindled
the weapons will be oiled and cleaned
just in case they say
as the two negro factions buckle down for results
the straights have the title
but the curlies think they got it
this time
like the last time
the police sirens are competing with the birds
it’s gonna be a wild one to the bitter end
just like the last one
and the one before that
and all the others before
