November
What the hell happened to you?
Sun beating down
like the dog days
in the month of the Roman King
*
Brown grass crinkles
like Reynolds brand aluminum foil
underfoot
*
Dry, colorless leaves
appear like Post-it notes
strewn about the writer’s office
*
Once fertile ground
now but dust
blown in the southerly breeze
*
Clouds scattered in the sky
like tissue paper
on Christmas morning
*
This is November?

How does North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un spend his day?
Kim Jong Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, leads a life of luxury and excess, a stark contrast to the poverty experienced by many of his citizens. 👑🇰🇵 Known for his love of fine dining, Kim reportedly starts his day with expensive Brazilian coffee and indulges in rich foods like Emmental cheese, shark fin soup, and Kobe beef, which may have contributed to his alleged health issues, including gout. ☕🥩 Kim's lavish lifestyle extends to his drinking habits, with reports of him spending millions on high-end liquors like Hennessy cognac, Russian vodka, and even snake wine. 🐍🤢 Despite his questionable dietary choices, Kim's got a whole team of scientists at the Longevity Institute working around the clock to help him cheat death and keep on living the high life. 🔬💉 As part of his daily routine, Kim often visits munitions factories, naval shipyards, and other industrial centers, but don't be fooled - these visits are just carefully crafted photo ops to make him look like a man of the people. 😎🥱 Kim's extravagant possessions include a fleet of luxury cars, a custom-designed 200-foot yacht, and access to the exclusive Masikryong Ski Resort, which remains mostly unused despite its high-end amenities. ⛷️🛥️ Now, here's where things get dark. Kim's not afraid to get his hands dirty when it comes to getting rid of his enemies. He's ordered the executions of over 340 people, including his own uncle and half-brother, using some pretty gruesome methods like anti-aircraft guns and flamethrowers. 💀🔥 In his downtime, Kim enjoys watching movies in his personal 1000-seat indoor theater, smoking expensive French cigarettes, and even spending time with former NBA star Dennis Rodman, who has visited Pyongyang multiple times. 🎬🚬 And what's a dictator's life without some entertainment? Kim's got his own personal all-girl pop band called the Moranbong Band and a surprise love for Disney movies, as seen by the costumed characters that have appeared on state-run TV. 👱♀️👀 At the end of the day, Kim returns to his expansive palace, complete with an Olympic-sized swimming pool, shooting range, and water slide, meanwhile, his people continue to suffer under his oppressive rule. 😉🤐
