to know one

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?
