while rome burns

Trump is the
elephant that
sucks all the
oxygen out of the
room––

an id that craves
all the attention
available––

it longs to be
the obsession of all
obsessions––

the only thought
that can be
thought––

the only need
that can utterly
tantalize

brains stop
braining––
people become
hormones

politics isn’t
local––it’s psychological,
stupid

hope was––

the election
would be over
& America could
get back to being a
semi-rational
country
in a worried world

hope dashed

prayers to
The People & to
God––

Make America Sane
again
