Charles Kuralt Bypassed my Street

i’m the tattooed
socialist
without any ink

i’m the anti-war
activist
without a recognizable party
or
even John Conyers

i’m the CBS
journalist
without much of a soul
not reporting on who actually did what, to whom
when
and for how much

i’m the military industrial complex
that Ike warned you about
that Ike built
that Ike used
too

i’m an avid
flash mobber
without the youtube account

i’m the farmers market
consumer
i drive myself there twice a week!

am i the?
i am the
the i am
