I miss the innocence of time

my first train ride on the red rattler

smokes and farts , looking out the

window to a landscape as strange

as the moon

I was there with my father as he

umpired his last game to screams

of you white maggot , you piece of

white shit

what a day ,as my father was ragged

as something just below human level,

sport brings out the best in people

don’t you think?

I played golf . My old man told me

never cheat in golf

it’s a sin,

people who cheat will end up in hell

he thundered

Then I thought of Herr Trump

I heard that his nickname was Pele

because usually one of his entrouge

were often seen kicking the ball

out of the rough

Whoops sorry , there goes the ball

into the tree, wait a minute suddenly

it appears like a Moses vision,

a white ball six inches from the pin

I can hear the crowd yelling

behind the six foot fence of barbed

wire

Hey, you fucking white maggot

someone from Antifa yelled out,

the orange man didn’t care

he was a winner

fuck you loser

a word he uttered under his breath

and the game goes on
