Poetry from Brian Fugett

100 DEAD BABIES

the conductor’s wand rises
suspended in the air
for a speechless moment
one hundred dead babies wail away
a mute harmony on the floor 
of the orchestra pit
& the audience sways gently
to the thunderous roar 
of the  air conditioning unit
and a billion goosebumps 
tickle their arms
and nipples 
while the rest of the 
nation sways in unison
as they veg-out
on a lethal dose of CNN
