TRUMPOLINI v9

TRUMPOLINI

for Peter Bates


Trump spouts
Mussolinian tirades against

breast-milk, blood, urine, sweat, 

spitting proof his pitifully inflated 
T R U M P O V E R S E 
attracts followers
believing he 

splutters
Truths.

slate-grey, foggy

slate-grey, foggy

sl@te-grey, foggy, 
mts. invisible, ground dry, 


under the rubric of drought.

I've lost 105 lbs. in 3+yrs;

my c@rdiologist s@ys I'll m@ke 99!
my fin@nce guy s@ys the s@me!

So y'm I so frightened?

JOHN DERECK JEFFERS, Brit.


JOHN DERECK JEFFERS, Brit.


Baring the scraggly broken teeth
of Britain, my Scottish dad, & me,
(hopefully, not my children)

Dereck's barking laugh's Ulster,
sense of humor, Eire, but says
it's not as vicious as Dubliners'.

Schooled at King's Hospital,
then Trinity College, he claims
British, not Irish, nationality,

admiring what 'Mrs.Thatcher' did
'for Britain', he never explains, &
I don't want to hear more about it.
