a box of donuts diplomacy

if i was
in the debate, i'd have a drink
at my
podium
with a long straw
to make a
crazy slurping sound,
and some snacks.
maybe some chips
or nuts.
a box of donuts.
i'd used them
as props, throwing
peanuts at the person
who says something
i don't agree with.
i'd make a point with a 
glazed donut in my hand
and clear my throat
as i choked
on a peanut shell or two.
as a piece offering
when the debate heats up,
i'd reach out
with my bag
of junior mints and say,
hey friend.
go on, take a few.
we can save the country
together.
