During the Transition, a poem

 During the Transition

The Resistance has begun.

On X the Poetry Foundation

will no longer post any new 

material, opting instead

for good old Facebook

and its child Instagram.

I have used salty words 

about my erstwhile heroes 

still in 1600 Pennsylvania

so help them God.

I am not hawking 

Ten Thousand Steps 

Against the Tyrant

any more although 

I don’t deny the poems. 

Like Jack Smith

the Special Prosecutor

I may leave the scene

before the shit hits

on January 20, protect

myself from the wrath

of the Revenger. How?

With a new set of praise

poems, directed 

at the Grand Wizard,

Pennsylvania Jesus

resurrected in Butler?

Remember that town,

now a place of pilgrimage,

where the campaign 

victory became inevitable, 

the raised fist, Red Road Rage?
