Ivanka Trump says she's seen "the pain" in her father's eyes when he hears about COVID deaths - Axios; August 28, 2020
2020 is an empty funeral
a marathon service
of missing bodies
were it not for updates
quantifying the tally of
countrymen turned corpses
there would not be enough
witnesses crying over
vacant vessels to verify
loss
The American president grimaces
over dead bodies
he is obsessed
with numbers and
confused about how
all the labor
gets done if
the graveyard shift
has terminated the workforce
his eyes sweat at the
sight of stock falling
he mourns the lost
of field hands
and winces in agony
at the idea of American grit
not mighty enough
to power an economy
through a pandemic
Eventually
he dries his eyes
rinses the blood
off his hands
decries everyone else
culpable
*smirks*
gets back to work.
