Freedom, a Petrarchan Dream Sonnet
I drive my brand new big black jacked-up truck
into my MAGA neighbor’s side yard grass.
(I hope he won’t decide to kick my ass.)
He looks at me, surprised, says What the f- – -?
“How ‘bout we light firecrackers for good luck
since the Fourth of July’s about to pass?
Let’s bond like two White lower-middle-class
heterosexual males run amuck.”
My quite snow-flakey invite draws a sneer.
Firecrackers? Sparklers? Sounds like Hillary.
“But they’re loud and pretty and light the night.
Can’t we share deviled eggs, wave flags, and cheer?”
He lifts aloft a stick of TNT.
Trump’s jailbreak will take some dynamite.

LOVE some black humor
Ha! Petrarch would be proud! This is hilarious, but way too real. Love how you get to the core of things.
Love!
By the way, Don Jr. will dig his dad an escape tunnel, like El Chapo. Then it will be hasta la vista, baby.
