Poem of the Day

That the president of this brief
from its authority of the moment
often refers to no goods
it doesn’t want in its society

and calls them its losers short
missing out.   no goods
citizens.        no goods who are poets
whom its nation’s own academy awards—

having not read any of the nation’s goods
described a ms. good as no good

should     lead such nation to question
what good is its whatever does this as well

as murder literally as figuratively its people
itself under ice.     then try to put it under ice?
