Trump: Persistently Steamy Poetry

By: Moji Agha -- June 24, 2016 -- Tucson, Arizona

Last dusk at a small Tucson park, my 3-year-old dear friend, Rafi,
insisted unhesitatingly on imitating, no, actually embodying, a baby dog.
REALLY! As real is Trump's Presidential candidacy.  

It was as if he was saying this to Donald Trump: "HAY! You finally convinced me, to finally give up on being human. If humanity has been reduced to Trumpicity, I'd rather be civilized in the dog-eat-dog world."

"Do you, the Trumpet of Ultimate Ignorance, understand the significance of my giving up on humanicity, at my adorably tender age? Do you even give a damn? I highly doubt it."

O' and of course we all know how perfectly our fellow 3-year-old humans 
know the art of insisting;
Much like Donald Trump knows how to perfect the art of insistent ass-ness.

In the mean time, I insistently wonder why Rafi
(who insisted on factually being leashed, and be physically walked,
in part by myself--leash in hand)
manifested so perfectly at yesterday's sunset an unbelievably adorable actually barking "doggie" that did not poop.

Yupp! You heard it right! Rafi-the-cute-doggie did NOT poop!

So again I wonder insistently, if his trans-species dog and pony show
(I was the pony) was meant, at its profoundest level of canine contemplation, 
to symbolically show authentic poop-less solidarity with those evolved dogs (and ponies) who don't poop the world;
perhaps to differentiate themselves from the words that insist on pouring out
of Donald Trump's ass-imitating mouth,
further polluting our wounded Mother Earth.

And no doubt, you see, Rafi and I have persistently no doubt, 
on these Trumpian days of sickening surreality, 
that our Mother Earth must be insistently asking herself 
agonizing existential questions like these:

"O' my God: How the hell did I end up giving birth to an insistently white, yet 
persistently steamy pile of , like Donald?
How did this orange-hued artificially hairy tragedy happen? Whose fault is it?

And alas: How should this grotesque Trumpesque pollution be cleansed,
wherein the narcissistic  and the exhibitionistic ******* 
are of the same socio-psychotic DNA?"

O' my God: How on Earth can THIS kind of ass be wiped?

Hoping for some answers (before it's too late), 
will our civilizing 3-year-old Rafi, now a proud poop-less citizen 
of the dog-eat-dog world, 
come back as some kind of a Doggie Super-Hero to rescue humanity,
making our Mother Earth "GREAT AGAIN?"

Much good humor, now that that manifestation of the prince of darkness has been scrapped off the world's stage. Every honor that may be bestowed to you for continuing to "speak truth to power" AMEN brother! My recent offering from that same dis·inspiration. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/president_trump_attributes_his_success_to_a_success_gene_1395766
