945. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Has long since been superseded by lawn care,
medical professionals, bargain hunters and
big-box stores. The American revolution has
long since been superseded by stupid bankers,
beauty and nail palaces, sushi platters, California rolls
and new car lots run by salesmen in suits; electronic
stores and home remodelers and gardeners and landscapers
too. It has long ago been superseded by gas and oil
plazas, roadside restaurants, fast-food joints,
parking lots and highways, truck-fuel-oil-tankers
doggie-grooming emporiums beauty shops and mortuaries,
garbage-heap leftover dumps, day-care centers,
rancid schools, stadiums, theme parks, graveyards,
supermarkets and more so much more so very much.
Did I leave out churches and the village-square
gazebos where the decaying politicians still
make their horrid speeches with parades and horns?
