Be still my beating heart …

rising from a sleepless no news night

fully, fully expecting a parade of bombast,

declaration and victory for Donald J. Trump,

no … it hadn’t happened … yet,

& now, 7:39 western time …

looks like not to be,

oh sweet sweet Jesus the relief,

but you know what,

to be honest,

besides the obvious

racial justice, climate change, environment,

compassion, fairness, economic equality,

it’s mostly just … as I say,

to be honest,

simply not to have to live with that man anymore,

the Birther, the achingly simple racist, the blustering liar,

the bully, the denigrator, the deceiver, the pretender,

the ignorant, ignorant shill for the rich and the religious

fanatics,

& his legion of hangers-on, enablers, coverers, cheerleaders,

circus barkers, medical quacks, economic charlatans,

puppet-masters, twittered rumor-mongers, just plain

maliciously simple idiots …

oh gone, gone …

self-satisfied smile, of sorts, of one Jared Kushner,

obligated and try-so-hard Ivanka,

Giuliani … ha! what more to say, Giuliani,

the bitter ‘never lie to you’ McEnany,

All at Fox … oh, all at Fox,

that poison, poisoned well

of fear, death, retribution, & dictatorial fantasy land,

Proud Boys, Bikers for Trump, Q a f’ng Non,

Trump Trains, Ladies Who Trump, 1000 Florida Villages for Trump,

Trump 2020 George Floyd death-mocking country boys,

Big gun-toting shade-wearing posed militia men,

Maga-hats! … oh maga-hatted cheering as he tells the Squad

“Go back where you came from” …

oh … Mnuchin, Gaetz, & the Attorney General,

… Dr. Atlas …

good god the horror of Dr. Atlas

in his callous murderous ignorant banality …

Limbaugh, Rick Santorum,

oh … & the Trump boys,

the 2 Trump lads,

farewell to them,

with their Hunter Biden pedophile tweets,

their Covids’ no big thing rants,

their hysterical communist taunts,

their …

their big-game slaughter trips,

their … oh all of it.

so …

these folks are still around I know …

but not on the front-page,

the times have-a-changed

& I for one,

am so full,

so, so full,

of relief,

soft sweet happiness,

& relief,

blessed, blessed, relief.

… & yes, I know,

all these folks are still around …

still out there …

but Trump …

Trump …

to not have Trump as President.

Oh the sweet, melancholy mood …

the smile, the … as I say …

blessed relief.
