Melanie Browne- Two Poems

The Gonzo Politician 

Serves the

zero percent,

he takes a swig of

Sunny Delight,

combing his pompadour 

he posts delusional

ramblings on

Jay Z's

twitter feed,

meshing Isaiah 14:12,

with Luke 16:19-

he begs Taylor Swift

for a new microwave,

'Morning star,

daughter of the dawn!

Buy me a new microwave-

you live in luxury,

but I can't heat up my 

tv dinner'

he joins a

Bernie Sanders

meetup group but

has a breakdown

in the middle of

minute maid park,

he blames Bernie,

and now stumps

for Hilary,

he gives away 

free Shipley Donuts

to people who 

promise to

vote for her

Can Al Gore see the ocean?

( a cut up poem made from climate change book reviews on amazon)

Walking backwards, 

can AL Gore see the ocean?

our nature is plastic,

jurassic,

our nature is sprouts,

doubts,

the stars are exploding,

Neanderthals-

drowning,

walking backwards,

can Al Gore see the ocean?

Galileo has clouded

the agenda,

he watches the refrigerator

with evenings daughters,

he is a lighthouse atheist,

smoking theory tobacco,

Al Gore points west,

Mr & Ms Climate wave

from the pier,

they wear their ice caps brightly
