Positively Tepoztlan

You've got a lot of nerve,

America,

to say you are my friend.

(and the rest of the song)

I'm looking at you,

America, from

outside your prudishdiction

not mesmerized by hamburger

not seduced by packaging

not enthralled by large men

bashing on a playing field

not super glued to pixels

not waking  

throbbing head wondering 

what happened ...last night/

for the last few generations. 

I know where I am, America,

and, from here, it seems

obvious you're starting to wake

up from your own reverie.

Let someone else

bring you coffee.
