American Appetites

Narrow are the Base Paths
          Our 
          Heroes
          Race 
          Around.
Quick is the Laughter
          That,
          Follows
          Our
          Love of 
         Jokes. 
Thin is our Forgiveness
	 For
	Apologies
        Unmade.
Voracious is our Appetite
	For
	French Fries,
	Cheeseburgers
	And Apple Pie.
Paltry is our Patience
	For
	Red Lights
	In
       Commutes.
 Solid is the Constitution
	Our
        Democracy
        Rests
       Upon. 
And Wide as the Mississippi is our
	Demand for
       Guns, 
       Kevlar,
       And 

      Yes, ever more Guns.
