my old friend
LG,
who has a severe case
of TDS,
calls me on the phone crying.
what's up,
i ask,
boyfriend break up again,
horse die?
cat coughing up fur balls again,
dog has fleas?
trouble at work?
no, she says, sobbing into
the phone.
none of that,
well, yes, all of that,
but mainly,
i can't keep up with the Orange man.
everyday
he keeps
doing things that drive me
crazy.
he's up all night tweeting,
making fun
of Somalians.
referring to them as garbage
just because they scammed
two billion dollars
out of Minnesota taxpayer's pockets.
he calls people fat and stupid
just because
they want to put Tampons into
boys' bathrooms.
he's besmirching
our mayors and governors.
he's in the news
all day
long, ending wars, lowering
the cost of living,
bringing gas down under three
dollars, he's
securing the border,
building a beautiful ballroom,
arresting criminals,
attacking drug boats.
keeping
men out of girl's sports.
ending wars around the world,
and now
he's created an investment
account for newborn children.
why is he doing this to me?
doing so many good and wonderful
things.
i can hardly eat or sleep anymore
because of him.
