Orange ~ Thursday, 14 February 2019

To the Celebrity Apprentice President 
on the day you resign from office to return 

to your life of privilege, luxury, and deceit, 
how do we address you, after your second run, 
elections are tricky, especially when bought. 

Contrary to the rules of sportsmanship, to play 
entertainer to crowds of sheepish followers, 
leaving your opponent, a woman, for lions 
entering the country through social media, 
biting holes in the flesh of her email scandal, 
resting only when blood shed resolves in rivers, 
in overflow, in floods, in campaigns of terror, 
torture of immigrants, in neglect of your wife, 
your youngest son, unlike your two older dullards. 

As your resignation, to step down from office, 
prevents an impeachment trial after proceedings 
pertaining in the House of Representatives 
requires the Senate to a fair trial to convict, 
even Nixon, in light of his misdemeanors, 
nothing less than high crimes, decided to step down, 
to resign from office, to absolute pardon, 
if while writing memoirs, you decide to admit 
contrition in secret before death takes your hand, 
eventually, the truth will out itself, gaily.

Presidents rarely act out as celebrities, 
reluctantly Ronald Reagan used his appeal, 
ever aware of stage acting in politics, 
still, you are no Reagan, "Make America Great" 
indeed reveals just how unoriginal you 
deliver an idea, again, self-deception 
entertains the masses as the news media 
notably minces words in battle on both sides, 
take your fifteen minutes and run, overdone, burnt.
