made in america
playing monopoly halfway seriously
building hotels on mediterranean avenue
all the while dabbling in regional politics
you might find expats inside crossfire cafe
plying chocolate lattes and rolling dice
taking undue risks for a small piece of the pie
since when were any of us ever really safe
whether rebuilding railroads or utilities
dodging bullets or thrown shoes
all of which were likely made in america
january two thousand twenty
