Beyond the land of the living dead
lies America, which has lied to itself,
and the worlds it has been part of,
for so long, that no subject under the sun
can be understood in absolute terms any longer.
When America crowns it's 47th president
the ceremony will have all the gravity
of a rigged Miss World beauty contest
for the elderly, where vanity bids the gerontocracy
to think they are young and what counts most
is how good the ritual looks on television.
Never mind the government crumbling behind it.
