Globalization Is Going To Ruin Nuclear War
by Stephen Lewis
The dirt is reveling in radioactive waste
and the oceans are colored like puked-on rainbows.
Some person built a robot to do a job it never did,
now it’s out shitting battery acid on people’s lawns.
Charred mansions look like sprawled skeletons,
even the rich are starving.
People are burning trees for warmth,
and air is too thick to breathe.

I swallow an atomic bomb
and my body expands the size of Hiroshima.
I roll over parks and parking lots
trying to save something, then

I explode into lakes of blood,
tangles of veins to find in the flood.
