Trump World Nazi lines of brown lives are headed to camps without their children. Coyotes release roadrunners who cannot out run a swarming hoard of frozen police dogs. The darkest among us without their shackles are sent to rooms with bars with lies from puppeteers. Audiences don’t applaud ragged ballerinas in an intimate cash line along the block. Disenfranchised souls are dissected in systemic operating theaters. The broken in tents cry tears enough to fill an Atlantic, like the one our lady stands in. Presidentially detransitioned mannequins lay discarded unable to fight for our country. Sanctified churches preach “love one another” and brag of their membership that they later abandon .
