day FOURTEEN HUNDRED and FORTY TWO

What it’s Like to Lose a Parent to Fox News

Things were supposed to be different
after sailing past the age your parents were
when you first met them, different at least
with the one that is still around

but an adulthood of mature
hopes, dreams, and triumphs
was not to be, childhood forgotten
no confessions, no reflections

phone calls from mom
last about ten minutes
small talk about the
weather and football before

the big immigrant take-over
and the Muslim communists
Biden put in charge
of the government

ten minutes before
sorry ma I think
there’s someone at the door.
