Shelter from the Storm.

"A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke."

“ghazal of the rapist-in-chief”

how do you do · mr rapist trump
what will you brew · mr rapist trump

is it boosting the gold · we keep in ft knox
with your pirate crew · mr rapist trump

is it loosing the hounds · we have kept at bay
of disease old & new · mr rapist trump

is it camps for the brown-skinned · yard men & nannies
& their children too · mr rapist trump

is it turning back the clock · for subaltern & queer
& jackboots pursue · mr rapist trump

or like a real-life joker · is chaos alone your aim
as putin bade you · mr rapist trump

The Shadow Walker.
