I am so inspired by candidate Pete’s skillful use of language I had no choice but to write this poem. Enjoy!
THE SHAPE OF MY DEMOCRACY
the shape of my democracy
is a circle with an X
the shape of my democracy
is an obelisk I use for sex
the shape of my democracy
is a rectangle flag of hope
the shape of my democracy
is a snow-white line of coke
the shape of my democracy
is a shifting fractal design
of words devoid of meaning
I can plausibly deny
because my name is Pete
and I want to be your prez
and the shape of my democracy
is tucked between my legs
