Ronny









hey, chimp-loving actor man
are you resting in peace alone?
no crowds there in the ground.
cameras are all turned off now.

remember me? could you now?
your big feet walked all over us.
that hollywood '40s wave smile
under your red-dyed white hair.

are you mingling with my pals?
killed by your anti-gay bigotry
killing the chance to kill a virus,
killing us sooner, you had hoped.

what do you say to quilt people?
do you charm them with a joke?
do you blame the darn russians?
do you cry "mommy'' to nancy?

your own gay son is born again.
jesus-loving son of rightist god.
the fanatics mass to your image,
print it on the fifty, they chant.

you are their addled golden calf,
elevated as the neo-cons' idol
in the face of any human justice,
false liberty's proud demagogue.
