"Let's Make America Great Again!" *Sigh*
Great catch phrase! But...It's a ruse!...It's a lie!

My sensibilities assailed,
Yet I must jump on in.

The task at...

Well known was Molly by gossips
Words fell so easy from her lips
They always found ready ears

of privacy bared open.
Reading like futuristic three, 
maybe fourth dimensional sign 
that says "open".

out from Enoch, nothing new. 
Amusing myself with literature,
the glue that contends
