So the purpose of this blog is to be a space to practice creativity. I am currently using it as a place to record a single, unedited poem for each day in 2019. While I attempt to write everyday, I may not actually post daily. Instead, I will post poems as they are completed, but one for everyday of the year. Not sure I can make it, but we'll see. It's fun to try regardless :)

What Are You Afraid Of?

I like to imagine that Donald J. Trump
is the last gasp of a dying body,
the rattling, incoherent convulsion
that happens just before the release.
Kind of like a creature backed into a corner,
a species on the margins that failed to adapt.
Dangerous, yes, and disruptive,
as destructive to itself as it is to us.
It's easy enough to dismiss a gasp,
a tremor and spasm, then gone.
Best not to imagine him as anything else,
but still we might have to consider-
what if Donald Trump is a seed?
