Nine/Eleven

by Chris Butler

Barack Hussein Obama Bin Laden
sells cigarettes and powerball tickets
to concerned citizens in the picket
at the ground zero 7/11,
where jumper angels drop from a burning heaven,
rather than choke to death on black smoke so thick,
seen in scenes shot to sicken the public,
from the first sequel to Nine/Eleven.

Meanwhile, the caves of Afghanistan
rejoice with explosively devilish
July fourth fireworks spectaculars,
for the American Taliban’s plans
to turn its people into terrorists,
when everyone remembers where they were.
