Martial law

[Robert Urbanek]

martial law

santa anita
racetack
with girlfriend
in nineteen
eighties

had hunch about
martial law and
runaway dunaway
but put money
on beer, not bets

martial law won
faye dunaway
wins in shows
even if runaway
only shows

martial law
again on track
looters
on liberal streets
climate chaos
price gouging

the left
moves mobs
the right
sends shooters

bet on prisons?
fascists fill cells
but executions
empty jails
