Trump Empire, Inc., VII
written in response to Time Magazine, March 11: U.S. Is Added to Human Rights Watchlist
It's Trump-Free Zone
not the 51st US state
from New York
my friend trumpets with her eyes closed
face skyward, hands outstretched ...
in Toronto sunshine
with the scent of early spring
and freedom
two Americans meet and part:
one draft dodger, one Trump evader
wave after wave
lapping against the lake shore ...
the blood moon
shapes and re-shapes
our dark reflections
Note: During the Vietnam War, American "draft dodgers," most of whom were anti-war activists, evaded military service through various means, with some seeking refuge in Canada. And the origin of the name "Toronto" comes from the Huron word toran-ten, which literally means meeting place.
Added:
no eye contact ...
a teen up and out of their shopway
this snowy morning
