where do our cities rise to now
the south china morning post
advertisers using photographs of hitler
& hitler youth to sell time on television

what next
radiation burnt bodies promoting sunblock
a veil of history slipped into magazines

"with 90% of europe under his control
he still lost the war

thank goodness he couldn't advertise on atv"

& thank goodness were not all dead from scurvy
thank goodness my brain doesnt dislodge
when im running & all those things for us to be thankful for

changing questions
until we hear the answers
weve been waiting for

would you rather lose your limbs
or have a seperate quebec
please send in your ballots

oh lord, give me a full page spread in the new york times
w/ the proper media
we could all be more powerful than hitler
more popular than jesus christ
