April 9

 Chinese Tariff Blues


A few extra cents jingling. A few stiff notes 
scratching together. Should be enough
To drown out the screaming. 

How much can the pocket hold before it splits?
How much food can you cram down your gullet
before you’re sick?

The legs of the pullets atrophy. 
The gutters overflow.
The rich drop their britches 
as the norovirus hits. Look out below.
