somebody said it’s the solstice
and there’s power in the atmosphere
charged up and hanging around
waiting to be harnessed.
will mugwort bath water
give me the strength
to smash the state?
or beat down a million misogynists

in a good ol’ fashioned fistfight?
if i make a real strong batch of sun tea
can i use it to drown the damn man?
i’m too mad for magical alternatives.
and the flicker of a single
yellow candle can’t compare
to my flamethrower feelings.
