T-rump and Muskrat


in darkness we all look the same ~ pawns can capture a king in the game

elephant president with crooked tusks ~ wears the fetid scent of musk

find the kryptonite to end his mad reign ~ America is in pain

DODGE, the felon ~ the Department of Donald Glorifying Elon

to snuff the flames of a gas lighter

I Think He Is Old I Think He Is Young

I think he is old, someone said.
Why?
Because he has a cane.
He is young, argued another. He is short.

My grandma is short, and she is old.
My grandma is tall.
He has a funny face.
I don’t think he’s human.

They weren’t wrong.
He was a muskrat with a cane.
A wise one who understood English.
They are young, he told himself. Don’t

Wildcat Muskrat Cat Faerie

Who is she? We wondered as she pranced around foraging for carrion.
She is a blue-eyed witch I think.
The BEW turns and stares at me; she looks like a wild muskrat cat faerie.
I am terrified, for I have never met such a creature.
She appears to be royalty.
I stop eating my mouse and offer it to her.
She

Muskrat

Brilliant for sure
Perhaps an enigma
Monotony’s cure
Cultural stigma
Secure transactions
Visions of Mars
Free-speech imperatives,
Self-driving cars
Staunch libertarian
Doge crypto bump
But buying a Tesla?
That’s voting for Trump

                    I will always remember
                that cold night in December

A Muskrat Is On My Porch Today

A muskrat is on my porch, sneaking around. 
I have caught a glimpse of parts of it, but today I saw it.
In its ugly wholeness. Except maybe it is not a muskrat.
There is no ugly muskrat-like tail.

It is as big as two rats, big ones, and it has dark fur.
The fur looks a little scruffy.

Muskrat Meat

Muskrat Meat
Muskrat and french-fries, the criss-cross cut kind
Not exactly the meal most folks have in mind
The potatoes are easy, just cut them and fry them
The muskrat not so much, folks seldom do try them
They are sort of like chickens; no feathers just fur
Both have to be plucked before cooking for sure
They’re best cooked in wine,
