Sunrise

Blue skies

Tweeting birds

Dove’s cry

Almost New Year’s

What the fuck

Snow-less winter

There’s the duck! (It’s a Catcher in the Rye reference lol)

Roofers roofing

Nail guns blasting

All year long

The Summer-lasting

This is the Hell

The book described

All Endless heat

And sidewalk fried

The demons lurk

In black-and-whites

To torture those

Whose skin’s not white

We talk the strength

We hide behind

Averting eyes

No peace we’ll find

We huddled masses

Lazy bastards

Just signal them

To screw us faster

Minus lotion

Sans a “safe word”

Diddy’s playground

Diaper turd

That barely rhymes

It’s not my bad

I mustn’t mention

Epstein’s dad

That Donald Trump

Almighty POTUS

Old Man Potter

Biscuit floatus

Seriously though

Just watch the eyes

Of those behind him

Poop surprise!

Oh merry twats

His sycophants

No worship question

Shitting pants

But I digress

I’m on a roll

Sometimes my talents

Take their toll

Now, where was I

Before I drifted

Words be nimble

Words be gifted

It’s too late now

Let’s smoke this spliff

Happy New Year, all

From North Oak Cliff.
