it takes one … to know one/
classic American retort
trump looks
in the mirror & knows––
where his hair-color
came from––
what his tax returns
conceal––
whatever he’s done to
which-ever
women––
this lover
of dictators
is clinically
paranoid & president
at the same
time
no making the world
safe for democracy or
asking not for
Him
it’s all those
people, countries &
shadows He
fears––
wants to
harm &
control
trust cannot exist
for Him
his moral grasp
ends in a
mirror image of
Him Self
he cheats––
so every one’s a
convicted
cheater––
he lies––
so every page of
the new york times is
fake news
he can’t keep
His word so
amerika can no
longer look
a treaty in the
face
& he’s in it all for
the very very short
term––so climate
& posterity be
damned
mirror mirror
on the wall…
who is most most
beautiful of
all?
