Potus

potus
poultice
poultry
poetry
podcast
pomegranate
pornography
porridge
pork
only
one
of
the
above
is
a
lethal
weapon
when
given
to
a
fool.

​



Trumputin (a romance)

Don loves Vlad
Vlad loves Don
Love as big as
A nuclear bomb.
 
Front door, back door,
Kremlin, tower
Nuclear love
Nuclear power.

When the Twittering Stops

​it’s all fun
and games ’til
the body
bags come home.

​




Post-Election Rag

(Walk that back
walk that back
I know I said it
but I walked that back.)
 
Attack dog surrogates
inveterate invertebrates
re-stock the swamp
with old white males.
 
Post logic, post truth
snake oil and kool-aid
re-stock the swamp
with old white males.
 
Post Obamacare,
post pussy-gate,
post gator aid,
re-stock the swamp
with old white males
 
Inveterate surrogates
attack dog invertebrates
re-mail the stock
to the old white swamp
 
re-stock the swamp
with old white males.
