Microphone in hand
grinning vitriol
venom

dressed as debate

“I think
it’s worth
some gun deaths
every single year
so we can
have the 2nd Amendment

That is a prudent deal.”

the smirk a tear
across his face

syllables like teeth

sharp and ripping

His words
burn a hole
in his throat

like hot metal

and he bleeds

Misogyny  bigotry
  racism
homophobia fear

  and lies

all over
the floor
