poetry by j matthew waters

what your country can do for you


sorry JFK
but that think not thing
seems to have been permanently
buried in the past
replaced by old-school selfishness
—something you thought worthy
to metamorphose into civility

though the idea strikes a chord
today’s political reality
remains a dysfunctional fiasco
—something the coming of age
generations may inherently relate to
redefining indifference
if you know what I mean





march two thousand twenty-four
