The Day After Pee Wee Herman Died
Trump was indicted in Washington D.C.
The day after Pee Wee Herman died
Two shots of Tequila
One for Pee wee
The other for this political moment
Can I dance on my toes like I meant to do that?
Just mesmerized by the coverage.
I’m having Nixon flashbacks
The inner child in me
That only understood Watergate as an emotional pastiche
Is being introduced to the grown man following the coverage of this event
On multiple computer screens
Like a super villain
The paradox that returning citizens can’t vote
After paying their debt to society
But, Trump can run for President with pending charges
In multiple jurisdictions
And pay for his lawyers
With $40,000,000 from his political action committee
The argument that there are two tiers of Justice in America
One for him and one against him
And the promise that he will kill American democracy
Like the cancer that consumed Paul Reubens.
Can we ever be vindicated of he who claims to be
Retribution Vengeance and Vindication itself?
The man who Tweeted from D.C. Playhouse
With a host of loonies as his supporting cast
Who tried to steal Democracy in broad daylight
Broadcast from the mountains
To the Prairies
To the oceans white with foam
Until Democracy became a McGuffin
In Mango Mussolini’s quest for personal
And dynastic power
Featuring Jarad “I want to be a real boy” Kushner
And Ivanka “Why does daddy stare at me” Trump
While his enablers just stared like Pee Wee Herman
In the middle row of an adult movie theater
As American Democracy was transformed
Into MAGA Pornography
Jack Smith come as Justice vindicator of democracy
Ready to engage all conspirators and co-conspirators
All of these miscreants are under One Law
Strike
Stay your hand no longer
You are only striking corpses.
