GATHERING

He’s activating the military
to invade America. Wonder how that
will stand with mad citizens who carry
guns as they invade legislatures? What
will happen when pistol packers swagger
into voting booths? Storm troopin’ Trumpsters
demanding their far rights. What the wager
will be when they take on frowning soldiers?
Or will they unite -- brothers and sisters?
Join hands, do-si-do to “Hail to the Chief”?
Maybe hug so tight they even blister?
Feel their newfound freedom’s such a relief
they’ll pack tight like legions of long ago
while distant Fauci screams, “No! No! No! No!...”
