PUNT

run it up and see who salutes it
pick it up off the floor and find it a chair
    have you heard? 
    they’re means-testing the words
    and rolling it over again
“something oughta be done about it”
hasten the B.D.A., and glide path it in
    and he said
    “the only good ones are dead”
    while rolling it over again
    and again
broken is gridlock of good graces
broken is any hope of ignominy
    and he said
    something under his breath
    and looking down from the lens
    he pressed the page with the pen
    no rolling it over again
    and again
