don't look out the window, just vote

the convention
is a love
fest
of hyperbole and inclusion.
a series of flip
flops
with every speech given.
pay no attention
to the real
unfiltered news.
don't look out your window.
every
race creed
and
votable color
is on the stage, dancing
singing,
juggling
the words that they read.
it's a minstrel show,
a Broadway
event
it's a carnival
of hope
and promise.
all is well
with the world.
ignore the last four years.
crime is down,
inflation is down,
illegal immigration has
been put to
a stop.
please
vote for us again.
keep us
on top.
and yet here i carry
home
a hundred-dollar bag
of groceries,
threading my way
through an angry mob.
