burning books

do children

read

what we were asked

to read.

is Mark Twain

on the list,

Salinger,

and

Cheever,

Updike

and Flannery O'Connor.

or are they

all banned

from the woke

witches

and wizards that now

run

the show?

is Phillip Ross

no where to be found,

Saul Bellow

and Fitzgerald

long gone.

Bukowski?

is their writing not woke

enough,

not

current with our times?
