January 20, 2025—A Lament

A poem for today, January 20, 2025, written in 2017 and published in A. Garnett Weiss’s 2024 poetry collection, Life, after life—from epitaph to epilogue. 

Trumped

Underhanded ways, shortcuts

wallpaper incorrigible pranksters

who thought nothing of hiding things,

weaving an unfiltered outlook, a myriad

of erratic logistics into action around the world.

 

Found poem sources: words and phrases drawn unaltered from obituary articles and death notices published in the April 29, 2017, Toronto Globe and Mail.
