dark and deep into my dream
January 6th
(FYI: Ls 1&2 ironically allude to the concluding staza of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost:

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Making America Trump Again
alone, soul-exiled
from Trumpland with its lies
and hush money,

(the oath and) the Power
51st state
the Gulf of America
buying Greenland...
with mind-punched news turned off
I stumble into the dark
the Arctic tap
wide open to send chill after chill
as far south
as the Gulf of "Trumperica" ...

Trump this, Trump that ...
with this news-punched mind
I sound-bathe in silence

unconditional discharge ...
I walk with winter gales
into the gathering dark
