with its swollen stalls
of bruised umbrellas and sun-stroked fruit
each event is now
entertainment: campaigns, rallies, processions.
one who would trump them all
trout-lips the words "not nice"—his wet pout sullen.
I watch, listen, mouth stretched
to an uncomprehending O; it's all too much.
Dystopia wasn't invented to be on parade.
