the russians are coming

the headline
with a photo of the president's
son
is all over
the paper.
he's putting Russian dressing
on his salad.
next to him
is the daughter
of the commander in chief
drinking a white
Russian, the foam
has given her a mustache.
she's eating caviar
too,
sturgeon from the red sea.
the kid and the wife
are playing catch with
potatoes
in their colorful
Ukranian costumes.
for dinner, after
standing in a long line,
they'll have stale bread
and cold soup.
