la dee da

so you like

crime?

i ask my liberal left leaning,

die hard

Kamala fan,

as she dyes her

hair blue

before another protest

downtown.

you don't think the police

need help?

i cringe as she slips her

nose ring

into her nose

and jams a stick pin into her lip.

you don't

mind all the murders

and rapes,

the robberies

and car jackings?

you think the city is great?

yes, she says.

la dee da, all fake news.

i watch her as she

stuffs a few

cannisters of pepper

spray and mace

into her purse.

would you be a dear,

she says,

and help me snap

on my bullet proof vest?
