a colicky infant
screams all night
& through the day––
into another night
& another day––
a mean & colicky infant
screams all night & day
then destroys
a toy or two––
a neighbor’s toy––
or a neighborhood
if he could get his hands
around it
this mean & colicky infant
becomes
a toddler
then a child
then an adolescent
then an adult
a ranting id
of an infant
becomes president
of the united states––
a reckless endangerment to all
the people of the world
& the future of the earth
dear republican party––
please take responsibility
& bring this endless tantrum
of your foster child
to an end
