Reflecting Upon....U S Election 2016 - Its First Anniversary Poem by James B. Earley

.....Relief.....of indigestion
But further introspection

Suggested a laxative
.....Yes.....that was it
Just a year ago
The resultant piece of shit

America's devious stomach
....Churning itself apart
Thought maybe perhaps
....A collective.....fart

Would relieve indigestion
Though....upon further reflection

Demanded the laxative
....Yes....that was it
AN ETERNITY AGO....
That resultant pile of shit
*
*
And yet.....now.....ever more critical INDIGESTION
....Upon further reflection
