#122 Donald’s Day Dawning and the Closing of the American Century
Piggy eyes but that’s too easy. For starters, try,
The President’s Elvis hair, much like the Chinesey he’s squaring up against,
Length as in Presley’s comeback TV special (1968).
There’s pantomime of Gary Cooper’s bootlace resolve – you wish
Often the Mighty O made of thumb and forefinger: pursing his lips – but not,
Touch of the Midnight Cowboy that Clever Susan would have to Tag as Camp.
Maybe Donald J. is hardly describable this way. Likely it’s not
How his features open out to say, I do declare.
Instead their constitution is the closing of the century
This time refusing America’s Fate Again, of ‘manifest destiny’.
America First, he’s repeating, meaning
At last America is just…America; nothing more.
