New Poem: ZELENSKYY VS. THE USSA

 did Mark Burnett direct the televised violence 

 did Trump/Vance watch Poppy Bush holler at Dan Rather

 did Putin clap his hands and say Go Useful Idiots

 will the United States survive this chokehold on democracy 

 can we live with being told to be proud of being wrong

New Poem: AFTERLIFE MATCH GAME 25

 Gene Rayburn reads from the card

 and it says “Dumb Donald is so dumb…”

 Then the panelists and the audience respond:

 HOW DUMB IS HE?

New Poem: LIVING IN WEIRD TIMES

 inner demons cheer corporations and billionaires 

 as they stand for no one but themselves 

 giving thumbs up to would-be overthrowers

 looking the other way at Nazi salutes

 ready to stand back and stand by

 watching the nation crumble

 since they care for no one but themselves 

Revised Poem: WEREWOLF TAKES THE WHEEL AGAIN

 werewolf takes the wheel

of the bus called America

and drives it first

to the Canadian border

yelling over the PA:

here come the tariffs

coming in hot

then the werewolf runs hard

getting back in the bus

once he sees Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford

united in common cause

>

the werewolf locks the doors

and speeds to the Mexican border

and shouts over the PA:

get out you people who aren’t citizens,

aren’t white,

and are those I don’t want to spend time

deciding who’s a good American

who committed minor crimes

that white people aren’t deported for

>

now that the bus is almost empty,

the werewolf and his wealthy supporters

feast on gourmet frog legs,

take a leisurely journey to Washington D.C.

and hide in the bunker basement

as hellfire burns at least the lower forty-eight

people crying out but I thought he didn’t mean me
