Rudy Shops Chicago For His Candidate
It was as if
Satan escorted the future
to the record store
And walked right past me
Giving me, briefly
The choices of
Infamy or freedom
As I stood closer
Than the security detail
Of a traveling mayor
Of America’s largest city
Where, certainly
I would be a hero to few
Even if all I were to hurl
Was profanity
Love this! Especially “It was as if / Satan escorted the future / / to the record store / And walked right past me”
