JOHN WAYNE WAS A NAZI
---------------------
A Rusty Pandemic original


For MDC


He haunts your insomniac TV viewings like All in the Family reruns & ads
for Japanese knife sets & phone sex. In the TV glare, he's always there.
That hitleering, swasticky cowboy in his 10-gallon hat, ever-ready to up
the vigil/ante justice. You don't want to drive him out of town by
sundown, you want to push him into the Pacific Ocean so he can play-act
Manifest Destiny with the fishes. Listen to the whiskey in your head, you
wonder, "if I shoot the TV screen, will I make him bleed?"
