Two liters and two hours of coca-cola

       Caffeine pulsing through the bloodstream

and Ritalin, shaking hands and legs

   pen flicking between the fingers

eyes flicking toward paintings on the wall

    while flicking through channels at 2 AM

        TERROR ALERT

                   CODE ORANGE

NCAA sneak preview online betting

      Doppler Radar

                  The Weather Channel

    and ping-pong ball sized hail

You are either with us or with the terrorists

         So cock your Glock

and don your gas mask

         and lock your doors

and lock the gates to these great United States

     Paranoia       and      Insecurity

Are all these people fucking insane?
