21 NOVEMBER PERFECT MATCH FOR PRECISELY THE WRONG THING

IMAGE+REALITY DON’T ALWAYS TALLY   

TAKE RUDY GIULIANI AS MAYOR OF NEW YORK   

ALL THAT TIME HOLDING THE LINE AFTER 9/11  

HE COMBED HIS HAIR OVER THE BALD PATCH   

IT MAY HAVE LOOKED LUDICROUS  

BUT HE BORE THE ROLE & THE CITY’S SOUL

WITH DUE SERIOUSNESS

RECENTLY HE’S BEEN LOOKING THE PART

HAIR CROPPED SHORT   

CHISELS HIS FEATURES LIKE ROBERT DUVALL’S   

YET R.G. ALSO BECAME TRUMP’S PERSONAL ATTORNEY  

AND HIS ACTIONS WENT INTO REVERSE     

IMAGE+REALITY FINALLY MADE THEIR MATCH  

AS MASCARA USED TO TOUCH UP HIS GREYING TEMPLES  

MELTED UNDER PRESS CONFERENCE LIGHTS

AND RAN DOWN THE SIDES OF HIS FACE

LIKE A PLASTIC SURGEON’S PRE-OP PENCIL     

PERFECTLY ALIGNED

TO THE ABSURD CLAIMS OF ‘VOTER FRAUD’  

WHICH HE PUT FORWARD

WISHING TO BE THE BEST WE CAN AND TO STAY THAT WAY FOREVER      
YOURS TRULY
