game by Mary Frances Spencerdoes it boil down to
black and white
dice
unrolling this future
fearful
greedy fists
punching bags of money
can yin balance yang
or will
heavy titles
prevail
NRA dolls
pose with stuffed animals
barrels of oil monkeys
collect as we pass GO
can we pick up
all the sticks
before the camel
breaks
burning ozone layers
into our 2 dimensional
vision
hands remotely control
all virtual
while the real continental
divide
will decide
which buttons
pull heads out
we have to play
to win
