I loathe a campaign
even more
than I hate a fucking parade,
unless it’s a Pride Parade—
those are actually worth the crowds
and the shitty, overpriced parking,
where capitalists capitalize
on everything they criticize,
trading on the inside
when there’s a global pandemic
the president’s daughter:
Ivankanother patent:
bodybags
to match plagiarized
handbags
mass produced
in Chinese sweatshops
where inspectors
disappear.
Show, don’t tell.
