Eternal Recurrence
By Deborah Landau
I don’t know
what’s so neo
about neo-nazis
they seem a lot
like the old
nazis to me
shouting jews will not replace us
in charlottesville
in frankfurt
marching by my grandmother’s
house shouting
pretty much the same
ought we to get going now
galloping seems
a good idea
