19 JUNE A PANORAMIC VIEW

THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA

BLEW UP ITS LIAISON OFFICE WITH THE SOUTH 

EXPLODED IT IN A DISPLAY WIDELY SEEN AS PETULANT

MEANT TO BE VIEWED DOMESTICALLY AS CONSTANCY

THE ROMAN VIRTUE

SMOKE WAFTING AWAY REVEALS NOTHING’S CLEARED THAT WAY   

ENCIRCLED BY OFFICERS IN UNIFORM GREY   

POSED AS HEAD OF TABLE 

KIM’S CLOTHED ALL IN WHITE  

HIS PROPAGANDA PICS MORE HOLY RELICS THAN CHEAP TRICKS    

EACH SHOT A PANTOMIME ANOINTMENT   

WASHINGTON’S PRESIDENT STANDS IN FRONT OF A CHURCH

HOLDING A BIBLE MORE AWKWARDLY THAN HE KNOWS

PROPAGANDA PANTOMIME ANOINTMENT  

IN EUROPE THE STATUES ARE COMING DOWN IN DROVES 

EASY TO DEPOSE THOSE TURNED TO STONE  

RHODES+HIS COVES APPOINTED AS THE UNANNOINTED

STATUS DECLINED FROM CANONICAL  

THEIR DUCKING IS THE NEW CEREMONIAL  

WHAT IF IS THIS GOING VIRAL IS ALL WE HAVE FOR A MORAL?                                                       

WISHING WE COULD REGAIN A SENSE OF PURPOSE THAT IS UNIVERSAL    

YOURS TRULY
