Sunday he’s singing,
“Share Your Pain” like Pat
Boone covering a Little
Richard classic with
Mock liturgical tone
Tuesday he’s ordering
Takeout in Michael
Coreleone cadence,
Delivering “Tuesday Heartbreak”
By Hellfire Missile
Sunday he’s shouting
Out names of loved ones,
Consoling grieving families
Tuesday he’s renaming
Children “Collateral Damage,”
Reducing family trees to charcoal
Sunday he’s condemning
The coward who killed
Innocent Americans
Making Love Boats for
Boys’ and girls’ bathtubs
Tuesday he’s pinning
Cheap Chinese-made medals
On hollow chests of
Cowards at consoles—
Crawling contradictions—
From Shmuck Cheney or
Alte kaker McCain—
Mule-heads might be marching!
