   A Thanksgiving Prayer

   Thanks for the wild turkey and
   the passenger pigeons, destined
   to be shit out through wholesome
   American guts.

   Thanks for a continent to despoil
   and poison.

   Thanks for Indians to provide a
   modicum of challenge and
   danger.

   Thanks for vast herds of bison to
   kill and skin leaving the
   carcasses to rot.

   Thanks for bounties on wolves
   and coyotes.

   Thanks for the American dream,
   To vulgarize and to falsify until
   the bare lies shine through.

   Thanks for the KKK.

   For nigger-killin’ lawmen,
   feelin’ their notches.

   For decent church-goin’ women,
   with their mean, pinched, bitter,
   evil faces.

   Thanks for “Kill a Queer for
   Christ” stickers.

   Thanks for laboratory AIDS.

   Thanks for Prohibition and the
   war against drugs.

   Thanks for a country where
   nobody’s allowed to mind the
   own business.

   Thanks for a nation of finks.

   Yes, thanks for all the
   memories– all right let’s see
   your arms!

   You always were a headache and
   you always were a bore.

   Thanks for the last and greatest
   betrayal of the last and greatest
   of human dreams.
