the man in the trump 2020 t-shirt
in the grocery store
there are white power groups
putting up fliers on 86th street in brooklyn
and a banner that hangs
over the rush hour traffic on the BQE
that says, protect white jobs
the politicians are on twitter talking politician talk
they hold rallies with people screaming
this is what democracy looks like!
they write things like
hate has no place in this neighborhood
but all i can think
is that they obviously
don’t drink in the bars down here
the man in the trump 2020 t-shirt
in the grocery store
…he knows the score though
he can walk like a proud peacock
up and down the aisles of this place
grabbing his pasta
and his cans of green beans
trump’s salivating, moron fascist face on his chest
with the words get over it, snowflake
written in big block letters
and no one will say shit to him
because this ain’t manhattan
he can give the arab girls a once over on the street
so that they know what’s what
he can go on twitter and tells those politicians
that they’re the ones
putting up those white power banners
the ones hanging up all of those signs
yeah, they did all of this to make the neighborhood look bad
because nothing is real
everything else is fake news
and he can take himself to his local bar
where everyone knows what a stand-up guy he is
a local fixture
a regular joe
and he can tell his jew jokes
without anyone giving him shit
get himself a couple of laughs
bitch about the muslims, the mexicans
and the blacks all moving in around him
telling anyone who’ll listen
about how his girl is always on the rag
that the politicians down here
don’t know shit about shit
or even what time it is.
