Blending into the background
like stage décor, like an urn
an exquisitely etched shitter
skillfully shielding her eyes
no camera could reveal realness
only dark shadowy nuance
strikingly death predictive
many couldn’t help but notice
a curious first lady façade
her frosty cheshire grin
threatening to crackle icily
no doubt, hearts will cackle
we’re all stuck in this eddy now
swirling her turd-filled potty

that shitfaced grin of deference
acting as though it’s a pleasure
to choke on a flaccid…
