solid bone

[the mingo]

these days they ask
$23,000 for a volkswagen
i stick my finger in my eye
like i seen it done by
the poets & writers
i think of a covered wagon
drawn by oxen
crossing the endless grasslands
i think about my 6th grade teacher
her back fused to solid bone
as they tried to repair the
damage done by polio
heard a medical professional
call polio an "obsolete disease"
i wanted to punch him then
not while the victims are still alive
you ignorant asshole
