Donald’s pout

I used to think of his hollow bravado
As the last flare of a middle school boy’s ascent to power given credence
By a people accustomed to listening to and believing white hetero men
— It’s more than that
Actually the dying overacted imitation
Imitating patriarchy, an act
Like skin tone makes me/you more/less — i.e. We/Other. Stupid childish and
Funny if it weren’t for: superimposed with
Guns batons and levers of power in government/culture and
Actual people weren’t actually hurt, dismembered, killed,
Made to suffer inhumanity and physical pain due to immature childish idiot,
Like Hitler, or a fucking buffoon moron like Trump.
