I don't know if these are exactly Agit Prop 101 poems--but they certainly deal with social issues in Misti's unique way, and I like 'em, so:

And...Misti has lots of great books of poetry for sale--check 'em out on Lulu or at her own feline friendly site, Instant Pussy!

Disenchanted Dialogue

is that poem good? is it decent?
uh huh…i gotta wash these clothes
go to the bank
get some boxes
apply for a sears credit card
go to the post office

i have written more poems
than you will ever read
are you going to leave the house today?
do you realize you haven’t left the house
in three motherfucking weeks?
i
have
got
to
write
these
poems
these sloppy poems
these stupid poems
these no shelf life poems
these poems that will not
wash or dry your boxers
improve your credit score
put stamps on your envelopes
brew your coffee
gas up the car
save this world
that seems hell-bent
on destruction
sold on ugly
married to the lowest common denominator

did you know john travolta recently purchased
real estate on the moon?

How about another by Misti:

Pseudo Housewife

lucky but i don’t feel it
what i feel are the minutes
like hours
chinese water torture
lethargic snakes
celebrity whores have taken
over the television
an irony deficient news anchor
with a midwest monotone
has taken over my brain
piles of laundry
likes piles of straw
in the fairy tale that always
scared me shitless
what rational man
can expect gold
outta me?
