New Poem: CARSON CITY (inspired by Zevon’s Detox Mansion)

 (Inspired by Warren Zevon’s song Detox Mansion)

Well I’ve gone to Carson City

Sun is shining, crowd is pretty

Spreading virus like Johnny Appleseed 

Giving suckers what I think they need


Playing Creedence’s Fortunate Son as warmup

Want the crowd to resent the Deep State

Wishing John Fogerty would STFU

About how I use his song to foment hate


Well it’s tough to be somebody 

And the polls say I’m falling apart

In front of the mountainous backdrop 

I refuse to learn lessons by heart


Well I’m done with Carson City

Closed my speech dancing to YMCA

Time to return to Air Force One

Rich and poor showed me love and cash today
