Meat Market, Part 8

We still cheer,
hang ourselves from
the last dead tree.
Judging by our slow breath
we legislate our executive
branch low enough to
tie a noose but just
high enough to sway
in the breeze,
where on your
tips you toed
the line in time’s
shifting sands, forsaken
by those clown gods.
