TR@NSFOOTED

for Geo Perreault

I've walked a west suburban (MA) B@y mall mile
in black & brown ROCKPORT Walkers,
brown ECCO & black MEPHISTO sandals
in Norcal's Great Mall of the (S.F.) B@Y,
& now in grey-blue SKECHERS Relaxed Fit,
gel-infused memory foam in Santa Clara.
Where & how will I next B@y transfooted?

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.

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.
