This poem was the 2nd Place Winner in our 3rd Annual Poetry Contest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though fallow and brown, it’s a wormhole<\/p>\n
Transporter in consumption’s own hometown!<\/p>\n
Set all coordinates to collapse<\/p>\n
In upon themselves. Fill’er up<\/p>\n
With holy water; recycle mortal maps.<\/p>\n
There’s founding boss Jacob Smith<\/p>\n
With firewater and a pen. Train<\/p>\n
That water hose, brother,<\/p>\n
On Billy and Chucky’s men.<\/p>\n
There’s concept boss Roger something<\/p>\n
With a shovel and a plan. Film him digging<\/p>\n
Past the water table, popping up<\/p>\n
In Guangdong to feed kids sand.<\/p>\n
The army corps of engineers is here<\/p>\n
Reining in rivers with rock. Don’t forget<\/p>\n
To slab in good the foundry’s toxic spot.<\/p>\n
Making leaded gas is making me thirsty<\/p>\n
For workplace democracy or locally grown celery.<\/p>\n
But here’s ultra boss with a writ in his talons.<\/p>\n
He trained a four-headed dog to quell money problems<\/p>\n
By feeding heavy metal to children. Indeed<\/p>\n
This vehicle comes loaded with the latest, greatest<\/p>\n
Innovations the globe has ever known. Where else can you witness<\/p>\n
Past, present, and providence<\/p>\n
While sitting in a hole?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
