                                                                                after Jackson Mac Low

                              His father loved him like a slammed door loves a rusty hinge.
 He could use his phone to fire goons without looking them in the eye.
                                                     He never ate fish,
                                                             only ox in patty form.
                     He’s on the phone again: “Can’t a cop use an ox-goad on a protestor . . . ?
                                 A border should be a wall, not a door . . .

                                                     “Why is this hand still so small . . . ?

                                                                 “Mark Meadows is a douchebag, but a useful one. . .
                                                      Why does my head taste so orange . . . ?
                             Use this flu thing to get me off the hook.”
                                                   Though he made water-pressure great again,
                          the whole world laughed at his unmasked mouth.
