NaPoWriMo Day #26

America told me not to worry, that
Those days have come and gone.
that psychadelic journey through
The Prado and Machado and choque cultural.

But the return to her bosom was a mere technicality as I ponder
the resurgence of the wild, wild west and
our ability for civility which is now under siege.

I often revisit that former jaunt through
homogeneity, that listless immersion in
a puree of pale brown appetites meant
to whet the threat that difference is not welcome.

Now here America goes, regurgitating
arguments, this culture, shocked to find
that slowly things are evolving. Their guns
incite a fight and guarantee they will get a war.
