               November 8th 2016

      (on the election of Donald Trump)


             ash floats higher
     over a fire
than masks held up on poles

   November 5th
hence forthwith
they’ll remember their roles

when November 8
 to make America great
   they voted for moles
parent neighbor
 childhood traitor
   faces of conspiracy

                         news now saying
    gunpowder plots
anger at democracy
