THE AMERICAN DREAM
​FROM SECOND CIVIL WAR

The American Dream
 
If capitalism is an old blanket
flowing down the back of America,
those on America’s shoulders
think it’s warm and comforting.
Like a tent during a summer rain
or a parachute when they’re falling
through the clouds. For those at the bottom,
the blanket feels like a straight jacket
dragging through the mud - stained and patched
with ripped corners and loose threads
that rise in the middle of the night
like Medusa’s snakes. There’s always someone
on the top tugging on the blanket, trying to have it all,
so we pull with all our strength
through the darkest hour of night
but the morning never comes.
The sun never breaks a hole in the ceiling
and our feet always end up a little colder
than they were the night before.
