Caught by a sudden
sideways gust of wind
as it comes in to land
on the White House
lawn, the President’s
helicopter veers off
course & decapitates
all the reporters wait-
ing to capture today’s
five seconds of risible
inanity. The President
beams when he finally
alights & sees the head-
less chickens. He hadn’t
wanted to answer their
questions anyway, too
many other things on
his mind. Like the re-
cent G-up summit, &
the radical no-shelves
no-books plan for his
retirement Presidential
Library. &, of course,
world domination, his
master plan sharpied
out as just one line on
one page — 1 + ? = 2.
