Read Poem: AMERICA, by John Arnau

Please don’t take the commercials off T.V. Yeah, 9-11 scared the hell out of me, so did January 6, 2021 with all those crazy white people from Wyoming and Alabama in their red baseball caps. But don’t take away my commercials. The potato chips, the very soft toilet paper, the new insurance companies, the wonderfully named drugs with their rare yet freakish side effects, please, please, don’t take them away from me. It would be more than I can bear. After all, I’m an American and the commercials, well, they are America.
