Free Verse: Invasion of the Mental Snatchers

here comes the president

(you think, hail to the chief with shoes)

dum dum-da-dum dum-da dum da dum da dum duh

to the Press, calm practiced confidence

a man swooned, I love you

phones held high to snap selfies of the prez

face all copper tones to keep out the Covid hoax

announcing he's the winner, he won, could he say it otherwise?

American flags for every nation we've neo-conned

standing in limp salutation behind him

then more music there goes the prez

dum dum-da-dum dum-da dum da dum da dum duh
.

Prez to the Press, the pundits to the middle people

the people who didn't have to loot their TVs

-- smashed glass panes, brokenness everywhere
