Carcinogen  Land     Drinking  whisky  while  listening   To  Sweetheart  of  the  Rodeo,   The  new  national  pastime,   The  ultimate  reality   Of  cubicle  sprawl  is  beating  me   Until  I’m  thoroughly  combined     I’m  finally  a  real  American,   Battered,  bruised,   And  not  sure  who  hit  me,   Mourning  the  loss  of  a  past   Which  never  existed   And  a  future  sold  out  too  soon     It  doesn’t  matter  where  I  go   Everywhere  is  flyover  country,   Jets  and  helicopters   Keep  crossing  above,     Carrying  elites  who  pass  through   And  deliver  their  evil  to  other  lands.     By  Ben  Nardolilli                                                 23
