“Dreamer!”
“Peanut Butter!”
my T-shirts shout
of my fondest desires;
“Funeral Pyres!”
“Brussels Sprouts!”
rarely – if ever – seen
imposed upon one’s clothing;
“Be Vegan!”
“Go Green!”
are now acceptable in such places
where once such slogans
we’re as popular as fiery dragons,
and life was twice as cheap
as the cows, chickens and sheep
that humans gave in droves
to the hungry lizard,
aflame, aloft,
to keep their little lives
warm, safe, and soft.
