THE DREADFUL FIGURE

by James Penha

Cartoon by Jeff Darcy, cleveland.com

after “The Great Figure” by William Carlos Williams

Among the reign
and blight
I see the figure 45
in orange
on a dread
crisis stuck
moving
tense
tweeted
to red caps
lying howls
and spiels rambling
through this gloomy nation.
