Drill, Babies, Drill!
Off of everywhere.
1st the black balls
on the beaches.
Don’t be silly, say Chambers of
Commerce. It’s nothing! & then
the Perfect Storm coating
everything with oil.
The Caribbean Hurricane
making its monster way over
our Eastern Mainland in-
to the Atlantic & back with
lesser fury. But enough.
Although, with newer safeguards,
it just can’t happen. Sound!
Uh huh. Prince William Sound.
Florida Tourism, for one,
shot for two years at the least.
Though publicists will toil mightily
lying us back. Perhaps with the line
that the beaches resemble
the volcanic ones of Hawaii.
What do the birds and fish resemble?

Floridas
Republicans truly burn
with desire
of drilling offshore!
Corporate Whores.
Safe! they insist
and technological
to beat the brand.
Oily presentations.
But I resort to metaphor.
When the real thing arrives in
fallen coils of blackened birds
and tons of fish dead in muck,
they'll claim bad luck,
who could’ve foreseen such?
