Chicagoetry: Pop Culture Is The Opiate Of The Masses

POP CULTURE IS THE OPIATE OF THE MASSES

Imagine a bougainvillea, a lush, plastic lavendar. Yes!
Pixels on a plastic screen! Stare deeply into this scentless icon
and forget America.

Forget Rome! FORGET THE ALAMO! Whither Napoleon?!
Might is right, right? Right right right?! Stand at attention, Six Double-Five

Three Two One! The world moves
on a woman's

hips, the world moves and it
bounces and hops. World of light: you better open your eyes

up.
