I remember being awake once
Me and two friends giggling on blotter acid
In the back of a police car
“It’s too cold to be out walking” he said
And gave us a ride home  

I moved to the mountains and fell asleep
Awakening to find that religious fascists were destroying my country
Demanding I follow the magic voices in their heads
Stopping only long enough to sneer at the fallen  

I moved to the swamplands and fell asleep
Awakening to find that liberal fascists were destroying my country
Cheering the failed cultures as they pour across my borders
Stopping them only long enough to give them borrowed money  

I’ve moved to the heartland and I’m tired and getting sleepy
But I’ll rest easy
So voluntarily ignorant that I’ll never know what hit me
