History was made
A year ago
When Trump faced impeachment.
Historically
He faced a deed
Of which his fore-peers had succeeded.
And so did he,
Or so we’d think,
Until his people screamed and shouted
At the Capitol.
And now we know
Mr. Trump has been indicted.

10.23.20 – Lagos Goes to La Streets
SARS—no not that one—
Brought Lagos to the streets.
Fuck daylong curfews.
8.10.20 – The Windy City is Windy
Wind whipping at the tailcoats
Of the bobbies drawing near,
People join outside the station.
They sport their riot gear.
Another police-juiced murder
Is what caused it—so I hear.
Chicago may be the epicenter
Of the rioting, I fear.
6.2.20 – Up Your Arsenal
The Dear Leader’s pledge
To unleash military
Is fucking stupid.
6.1.20 – Palpitations
The Nation’s heart: it tremors
In convulsing, pulsing manners
That echo the boots of broken men
And the rhetoric of the liars.
This Is Just to Say
