Opening Season: Juiced
Around here everyone acts
like nothing’s changed.
Simpson, not the killer knife
wielder warrior of the open field
fleet of foot, and brave
heart to heart with millions,
it’s the other brother, also
a cartoon character, Homer
who speaks for us
and carries us, slow
as the turtle, with him
into the arena, the Acropolis
of the electric current
state of our sad affairs.
