who
Apollo gifted with prophecy.
And
everything she could foresee
was,
invariably, right on the money.
Despite
that, she never let
Apollo
Phoebus “achieve” her.
Being
a god, he — likely thinking it funny —
saw
to it that no one believed her.
(I
think this we might construe
as
an early example of today's #MeToo.)
As you may surmise, I cannot prophesize
anything
like a Cassandra.
What
I can do — admit it, you KNEW! —
is
indulge a small talent for poetical dander.
I predict victory for Trump/Pence 2020
and
the end of U.S. democracy,
which
will be replaced, after the coup,
by
a Mike Pence Holy Theocracy.
(Mike
Pence, I hear, believes he's God's plan
for
turning us into a bigger Iran.)
