the potato will save us

Idaho
is excited about the new leadership
in New York City.
just like
in any
communist country
the staple
eventually becomes the potato.
and Idaho
is king of the potato.
they've got your Russets,
your Reds,
your sweet potatoes,
your mini-potatoes in a cute
mesh bag,
your Yukon Golds,
and your baking potato
for when you
have your ration of butter or sour
cream
bought at the government store.
farmers
are dancing in the fields,
doing jigs
on their dusty roads.
nothing like a peeled potato
in a bowl
of gruel
to start the week off right.
not to mention vodka.
who doesn't
like a bottle of potato vodka
as the city goes
to hell
in a handbag overnight?
