day THREE HUNDRED and THIRTEEN

the guy with the book on trump
winning the presidency

comes up to me hands me the book
and says,

hey, have you read this?

i look at the cover
and there’s trump and there’s bannon
clasping each other’s shoulders
like the devil shit-packers they are

and i say….yeah….i’ve read it

the guy with the book on trump
winning the presidency says,

yeah, but, like…is it good?

i tell him that it’s all right
i tell him that i didn’t like the ending
but he doesn’t laugh at that

the guy with the book on trump
winning the presidency says,

no, like, if  read this will people
think that i’m smart?

you mean other than the mouth breather you are?
i want to say

but, instead, i hand him back the book
i tell him

they’ll think you know something about
trump and why he won the presidency

they’ll think you know stuff
about stephen bannon

cool, says the guy with the book on trump
winning the presidency

before he leaves me
to get up
and go wash my hands thoroughly

just like i did

the last time that i held the book
on trump winning the presidency.
