The Dt Blues
Not so dear DT:
Many voices have avoided asking you
obviously challenging questions,
Like, "Why?"
I have a different
but related choice question:
Ten years from 2020 revision,
would you rather be dead
or a silently cancelled mystery
rightly left behind
by a more resilient
blood red
healthier EarthClimate
history?
This is my rightful
red-blooded
Earth patriotic question
for not only unjust you.
The entirely apartisan U.S. Senate
comes immediately to what's left
of my right mind,
Especially those egregiously unclean
unrepentantly ungreen,
which seems to clearly exclude
no one
from blue penitence
seeking more red hot hope
for ecological salvation.
Better off already dead?
Or still breathing
but more left living behind,
out of over-invested
nemesis light?
Why, AntiUncle Samson,
Why?
What in degenerative
dogmatic Hell
was our bad trip
without soulful you
all about?
The journey toward forgiveness
is a long one,
short on patience,
bankrupt
for culpable slack,
publicly mediated lack
of green clean curiosity.
Redemption begins with:
Hi. I am DeToxifying Donald.
I am part political fascist
and part economic fool.
I'm sorry.
Let me make reparations
by donating what little is left,
not yet self-righteously destroyed,
to Earth's Feminist Future Gardeners
already permaculturing peace.
Then, cancelling
my monoculturing
"DT right is only red"
brand,
I choose to disappear
into a transgender nunnery
to clean ungilded toilets
To clean the pots
we have all marginally peed in
for myself
by myself
swiftly cancelled
by unplanned climate change
like everyone else.
