Pretty Woman
She wore it in the morning
photographed boarding the plane in Maryland
to visit brown kids in cages:
“I don’t really care, do U?”
The press flipped out, her spokesperson said:
It’s just a jacket, no hidden message.
She didn’t wear it at children’s jail
where she was modeling compassion.
But deplaning that night, she wore it again
and cameras clicked. She said in 2016:
I always wear what I like
and what is appropriate for the occasion.
Mail order brides blow dog whistles for
the beast-in-chief – it’s required by the warranty.

succinct closing statement
It has been said that poets always capture the soul of the world in flight. . . yep that is exactly what you just did.
Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words.
First Lady’s fashion choice aside, I am fascinated that the jacket was produced for mass consumption. What does that say about all of us? Somebody made and marketed that and thought the message would resonate enough to sell.
You tell the truth.
