mah maou

stacking up a pile of old capiases
and hoping I won’t be spotted
I wonder: where am I now?

staring up at the moon
with canīnus fidēlis
I wonder: where am I now?

stewing vegetables
in the coals of a fire
I wonder: where am I now?

eating tofu from the dumpster
and running from trader joe’s security
I wonder: where am I now?

belching marijuana smoke
and rubbing my nose
I wonder: where am I now?

where are the raw vegans?
where are the anti-Federalists?
where is Woody Gutherie?
where is Leonard Peltier?
where are MOVE?
where is Mumia Abu-Jamal?

I think I know the answer,
but I’ll never tell.
