Fake Catholic Poets

Fake Catholic Poets

for Joseph Massey

Fake Catholic poets want the border secured,
Afraid that migrants are going to take their jobs
As fake Catholic poets. Fake Catholic poets
Say they could have listened to him speak 
For two more hours. Fake Catholic poets
Go on podcasts to talk about being persecuted
For being fake Catholic poets. Fake Catholic
Poets move to little towns where they can be
Sure they’re the only one who reads Larkin. 
Fake Catholic poets do most of their writing
On their phones on the toilet. Fake Catholic
Poets want the world to look like it looked
Like it looked. Fake Catholic poets suck.
