if i could have gone back i would have gone back
but
floating army tanks rolled
over government agents
and snatched a plainclothes security officer
from the nezahualcoyotl reservoir
if i could have gone back i would have
gone back but
a star that lies cool,
well-schooled and forensically-skilled
has repeatedly prank called america’s top spy
a recurring nemesis
a promising sign of the night sky
scrapers poking out of the clouds
if i could have gone back i would have gone back
