which seem like years —
it is clear Trump
is playing at Lear
(Lear as in Shakespeare
not as in Norman)...
on the horizon
hurricanes storm in
will Trump magic
turn comedy tragic
with Ryan-McConnell
as Regan and Goneril
his crowd, Cordelia,
miss-iled by Korea —
good daughter, bad daughters,
Trump, us — all slaughtered
the curtain descends
la commedia ends...
makes fatal sense
to President Pence —
aglow in the dark,
the remnant's monarch
