Court Jesters

(if you are viewing this via email, the website has a recording of this poem and commentary; click the title above)

Commentary

I know this will put me at odds with some friends and family. But who, better than these comedians, is telling the truth about the infantile idiocy in Washington? Prophets, poets, comedians… we have the same duty.

The Emperor’s Latest Victim

(if you are viewing this via email, the website has a recording of this poem and commentary; click the title above)

Commentary

This poem was inspired by the Trump administration’s machinations to get Jimmy Kimmel suspended from his late night talk show.

Lines 7 & 8 are a deliciously ambiguous part of this protest.
