Jackhammer soup with barbed wire garnish,
Bowls of depleted uranium candy
And mildewed wallboard from superstorm Sandy.
Every smokestack belches forth
The blighted curse of the dying north
And the haunted scream of the melting glacier
—Wracked by pain beyond all measure—
Summons ISIS’s violent crew
To mutilate and torture you
And veil your wife and cut off your head
And make jihad in your marriage bed.
