POLITICS OF MODERN MARRIAGE
A smug Donald Trump
stares up at you
from the front page of the newspaper,
You take a pen
and scribble on his face.
Then you hate yourself
because you can’t stop obsessing.
Your world’s growing
less about those near to you.
It’s playing out on the world stage.
And you’re getting older.
The culture’s gone mad
and you’ve not the years
to wait it out.
Your husband’s cold these days.
He doesn’t sleep with porn stars
but he drinks a lot.
Your revulsion doesn’t go well
with his apathy.
He says he likes Trump,
thinks he’s funny.
You went through that
whole Nixon debacle.
The mob was blinded then
but slowly, painstakingly,
the mob finally saw.
But this mob is different.
They’re set against
the possibility of enlightenment.
You fear that you could die
leaving behind a world
much worse than you found it,
with plenty of friends and family,
but no real allies.
Your husband watches football,
does his best to exist alone.
You keep up with what’s going on,
all that’s going on without you.
