Donald
Comforts fused cloned hands to skulls of cavemen
Antithetical options became numerous during ignorance
And the bones came from whales
Dark yellow burned the edges of squat cells
Each tight barnacle
Itchy and scaly
Their rusted walls holding the stern meanest man
(Who says a lot by saying nothing at all)
By reporting live from the cave
He flaps his newborn hands in an attempt to seem kind
Blowing soft kisses and coos
His jagged teeth
Though whitened
Delivers stark rules
While saliva runs down his savage jowls
dripping daily news
("It is okay," the audience sighs, "The weather has been warm")
A fresh clean evil born of detachment
The bare memories of good intentions
Worth nothing against the base which has no scent
Languid in the clearing after the break --
He continues to wave and bids farewell behind the soft buzzing of machines
