Ash
From
the sidelines it seems even worse.
The
infighting,
the
harassment
the
hashtags
#LyingLiz
#MayorCheat
#BernieBro
It’s
all right there, allowing us to scramble
and
tear at each other desperate to pick
not
only the person that can beat him
but
the one that we have championed
our
own savior
our
personal jesus
just
like the way the other side sees the President.
The
swollen bloated carcass of populism.
I
take a step back and then another
and
it comes into sharp terrifying focus
not
only the possibility of four more years
four
more years of violence
and
racism
for
more years of suppression and fear
and
murder and war
and
the choking desperate death of Earth,
Not
just those four more years
but
the four afterwards
the
four years beyond
when
Ivanka Trump
becomes
the first woman president
and
everything I ever believed turns to ash.
