indicted
more times than Al Capone
this big-mouthed man
on the trail and on trial
thronged by his wannabes
FYI: Al Capone, also in/famously known as "Scarface," a crime boss who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit from 1925 to 1931. Federal authorities became intent on jailing Capone and charged him with twenty-two counts of tax evasion. He was convicted of five counts in 1931.
And Donald Trump faces a total of 91 charges across four criminal cases. They include 44 federal charges and 47 state charges, all of them felonies.

alone
I wander this snowy city
of cold faces and colder hearts
Added:
a woman chasing
after a barefoot boy
after his dog
in the snow-covered park ...
I envy him, a mess of joy
Added:
overlapping shadows
of Billionaires' Row, New York ...
an old man mutters,
these helicopter people live
without their feet on the ground
