Cody Walker
Three Short Poems
1. Goalposts
Collusion, but not conspiracy.
Conspiracy, but not treason.
Treason, but not murder on Fifth Avenue.
Murder on Fifth Avenue, but just to prove a hypothesis.
2. Mad Outside Review
He thought he saw a Fucking Moron
Try his hand at Twitter:
He looked again, and found it was
The Moron’s Babysitter.
“Who, Mick Mulvaney? Fox & Friends?
This country’s in the shitter.”
3. Sum of All Fears
Bolton’s a chickenhawk. Trump’s a sociopath.
You do the math.
