Dear Someone
From No One
Dear Someone,
I called today
You didn't pick up the phone
I held open the door
You grunted
I smiled
You looked the other way
I let you in front of me in line
You were there before me anyway
I reached out my hand
You sidestepped me
I asked for a minute
You didn't have a second
I drove you home
You slammed the door
I fed you
You spit it out, sent it back
I handed you a tissue
You cried
I shut my eyes
Yours opened
Love,
No one

All Hail King Trump
BOISE — In a move that has political scientists reaching for the whiskey bottle, Idaho has officially declared itself Trump’s Personal Playground following the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents are above the law, common sense, and basic human decency.
