a haiku sequence written in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty against the twilight sky
July 4th parade
a pink-haired girl face to face
with the Trump cutout
Trump fans
outtrump one another
U-S-A!
MAGA barbecue
the sheriff's mouth filthy
with shithole countries
firework-lit sky
in the detention window
a child's face
NeverEnding Story, July 4, 2018
Note: "MAGA," a hashtag favored by White House Reality Show host Donald Trump, stands for "Make America Great Again."
