Weekly poem on Trump Presidency
Noah Falck
Celebrity Dream Poem Donald Trump
A great sea of people collect near my tower.
They wave flags, thrust signs into the sky.
I can’t make out the words from my penthouse,
but I am sure they say great things. They say
God made me, and only me, in his image.
I am God tonight, and every night as my daughter
holds up a mirror to my naked body, my golden hair
a sunrise, a tremendous fire that gives you life.
