My Mubarak

french is a four year old girl
wearer of half the alphabet
in the hope language
where a figure eight is the mathematical
interpretation of generosity
with a carvel cookie cake
the cat had with mashed potatoes
mary, marry, merry
it’s an axis of evil
banning sales of slogans in New York
it’s a call for a defense fund
full of flowers for the dead
mothers make this call to action
surrender to the perfect faith
