It's Morning Again In America

A down-sized world,
I mop the long floors of a high school
I graduated from three months ago.

I got all A's in algebra.
I loved math.

Plato said the man of war
must learn the art of numbers
or he will not know
how to array his troops.

Can Ronald Reagan calculate the end
his monologues will meet?

In the last book of the Republic,
Plato refers to a number he calls
the lord of better and worse
births.

What star saw my nativity?
What number am I?
What unembodied object of pure
intelligence factored my sum?

Ronald Reagan
is a shithead.
Ronald Reagan's a turd.
