Labor Day

Labor Day

The boys have grown so hard this summer -
   little apostles of violence screeching out of their driveways
   in their bad cars.
The mamas are pleading up and down the block -
   don't you leave.
   don't you take that car.
   why do you do this?  why?
And the answer is the same
   for the mamas and the gods and
   the jackoff cutting them off in traffic -
Fuck you, man, fuck you.

The boys have grown so hard this summer.
   They watch the mtv boys whip the clothes off some bitch
   until she's only lips and tits and high heels,
   stripped to cruel simplicity.

And I am afraid.
