‘Senior Trump Official: “We were wrong.
He's a fascist.”’
GV Wire, 9th January, 2021
Anonymous 11th hour disgust and shame and
medical insurance for blame and a pleased son
claiming a grand old name. And the stories and
pictures and quotations grew and grew, and
the promises and the threats, and
the near death and the death and
the heroes and the lackies and
the rats.
A mouth in an orange mist, yelling fake,
bleached teeth chewing at the world.
The mother of all bombs dropped another,
but we’ll never see pale flesh in an orange suit.
You and your friends – some of them are rapists –
will retreat behind your wall, lob incitements
like mortars, empty the streets, shake houses,
crumble ceilings.
Your family, dark-suited, blonde and white,
will never flick dust from their shoulders, their hair.
Watch it all on TV, show their teeth, give victory
to the camera, while the world burns. Purge. They toss
matches, show their teeth, fall away to their
fake news Juliet sleep and their Lord Angelo awakening.
