Poetry Exhibition: 1 - Boom Boom Clap

I heard there bumbles a song
Boom Boom Clap
Forth from speakers
In Cadillacs and Fords
It gurgles around itself
With young
Filthy
Love
As it squeezes
Into the ears of the
Paled teenagers and their
Dazzling cellulars
How fast they can contact
As
Boom Boom Clap
Booms and claps

I know there detonates a rhythm
Boom Boom Clap
Forth from the shrapnel
In Dammam and al-Qudeeh
It implodes around itself
With ancient
Dusty
Traditions
As it bleeds
Out of the ears of
Tanned children and their
Worn out limbs
How fast they can wither
As
Boom Boom Clap
Booms and claps

      - J. A. Kind
