COMING UP

by Chad Parenteau




Trump, Kanye
and a ghost
of others who
the former
President has
never seen
without sheets.
Also, Milo
Yiannopoulos
going Jews
for Jesus
slicing
Semitic bits
to trade
for bodies
of Christ.
A pride
of people
fine to be
on same side
until not.
And also,
why this
is bad for
Joe Biden.
