Aung Khin Myint
National Anthem 38
as a rehearsalshe dropped a Barbie doll
from the twelfth floor balcony
netted are
the masses whose gills palpitate
all the time she was fancying
the thicket of hair on Karl Marx’s chest
dressed as Catwoman, wielding a whip,
she whips
the gentlemen in Superman costumes
into masturbation
that woman in camo
doesn’t recall her childhood any more
in yours truly
schizophrenic nation
