№ 661: Short-term Thinking (a speculation)

UNTIED STATES OF DONNIE (August 14)

Would it sound bitter
if I said that Twitter
by forcing short message length
encourages nonsense
and, therefore, in consequence
stupidity's mistaken for strength?

If it weren't for Twitter
Donnie could not have glittered.
Without Twitter he'd not have prevailed.
If forced to think
with pen and ink,
he'd be just another junk male.

A Page Six tyrant,
Murdoch compliant,
sexist, rich, arrogant prat,
whose dirty nose
left him exposed,
got him indicted.
That would've been that.

Will there be a sequel
to “created equal”?
(Providing there's still an environment.)
The way that it looks
we just might close the books
as notion and nation take early “retirement”.
