Conspiracy Theory

by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal

Agent Orange
runs in my bloodstream.
Mini-computers
were implanted in my brain.
The government
reads my every thought this way.
They have tapped
into my banking accounts.
I had millions
of dollars in the bank last week.
Now I only
have a few hundred dollars left.
They know I know
because they can read my mind.
I'm on a hold now
because they say I'm insane.
Who wouldn't be ill
with Agent Orange running inside
their veins and micro-
computers implanted in their brains?
All I ask is one
thing: to remove these implants
when I die for the sake
of the worms and the maggots.
I wouldn't want
them to get indigestion
when they feast on
my decomposed corpse.
