person
leaves me a note, saying
that she
won't read
what i write anymore.
i prefer
your silly poems,
your stories
about love and loss,
your benign observations
about the world,
but now,
you've gone too far.
how dare you write about
politics,
how dare you
have an opinion,
or make fun of our political
leaders.
who do you think you are
expressing yourself
so freely,
without censoring.
you're a threat to poetry,
to democracy.
i respond back, Mom,
is that you?
