The President is on TV just now

telling us it’s fake news again.

They stole the win, he did nothing wrong,

And he should know this

because HE’S THE PRESIDENT,

THE  PRESIDENT of all Presidents,

Past, Present, and Future. I listen as

sirens flutter overhead

like helicopters searching for truth.

I take off my gloves

and walk out into the night, watching

cold faces gathering

to photograph the evidence,

asking each other how it happened

in front of their noses.

No one saw anything until it all

went up in flames. I watched

the vastness of his blonde hair waving

across his face like explosives. He said,

“It’s fake news again. Fake, Fake News

again”. Then the tiny hands of our watches stopped

ticking and fell silent.
