RONALD REAGAN AS INTERPRETED BY MEL GIBSON
Inspired by the J.G.
Ballard story “Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan”
The brown shirted
Christ killers are making love to your image
I’m still in the misfolded amyloid proteins in your head
Like a poorly ironed shirt
The mujahadeen carried off your eyes, ears and tongue
The Republicans saved your skull
And polished it clean
I picked out your teeth to use as razor blades
To shave the legs of the welfare mothers of America
The children in Haiti who eat dirt pies
Were posthumously donated
The plane you used to fly Duvalier to safety
As a play thing
And the money you saved on sex education
I spent at a peepshow
Your semen fertilized the minds of a million psychopaths
Jodie Foster still loves you
And John Hinckley is eating brownies laced with Thorazine
In your name
I see you
A shining star
The Marlboro Man
Winning one for the gipper
While hooked up to a ventilator
Hopeless invalids will look at you stuffed in a museum someday
And be glad that you are gone
I gorge myself on your liver
Like a wanton fool
And celebrate a world without you
And weep for it at the same time
