O Donald
whoever you are
you have missed the train
back to queens
wherever that is
but there is no home
for you here
so you must
find that train
that will take you
home to where it
all began to unravel
O Donald
while the foolery had
a moment for some
then when the curtain
was lifted and the
game began to shut down
the disaster screamed
for the dead and ruined
you’d left in the rut
as you ran for cover
over the bodies piled up
while the nation finally
caught on to what
a fuck up you are
and now even the next
train will never
get you home
you are lost Donald
sputtering and gagging
nonsense lyrics
which finally not a
sentient soul alive
can compute
and the death rain
tumbles and soaks
your terminal traces
which will vanish
in the burning sun
now exploding the horizon
