A POEM FOR OUR TIMES

Randa Jarrar, a Muslim professor at Fresno State University, made a poem out of all the words Donald Trump used in his inaugural address that had never appeared before in an inaugural address.  Genius.  (Her, not him.)

Rusted, subsidized,

Urban, Islamic lady.

Solidarity in depletion,

I trapped sad trillions,

Stealing carnage to

Flush away in despair.

An unrealized infrastructure,

I bleed tombstones,

A wind-swept stolen landscape,

My sprawl unstoppable.
