first debate

why do I feel fearful

for this woman

I don't even like

can't even trust

the one who wants to lead

the world-imperial pretend we're not

money makes the world go round

burn the oil burn the coal

bomb the kids

make fear

be tentacle everywhere

topple by coup

con your way

have your way

kid yourself

call black white

lock up the truth

be better than anyone

sue a path through

that Hollywood story

high five

where nobody's nice enough

even to talk to

?

she is as military industrial

mired in monster muck

as any worthy emperor ever

democracy?

you have to laugh

she will be just one more ruler

for Pluto

just one more media massage

reality vanishes in a puff

there goes the future too

then why do I feel fearful for her?

why do I hope she can say the right thing

tough it out

struggle through?

why is it that I want her to win?

simply because there is something much worse

lies and it cheats and all it spits venom

it will tumble down continents, kill and not care

throw up its hands in an innocent gesture

what it doesn't know will only hurt others

and this unspeakable whom we hope not naming

might disarm – but no, no! – lo and behold!

it's lurching just lurching now to be born

Caligula is coming!
