who's running this place?

you wonder
at times, who is really running
the country,
the executive branch
that is.
they take
so many vacations.
they disappear
onto islands
and beaches,
stretch out
beneath umbrellas,
away from questions
and staircases
that they
stumble up
or down.
they relax with
drinks in hand, the sea
in front of them,
eyes closed
to the world behind
them.
are their phones even
on?
or have they totally 
checked out?
done and gone.
