the donald and the pumpkin

if stars behave absurdly
for aeons
toss them when you’re ready

it’s the 22nd century and
still some stairs creak
so a wise guy

puts his hands on a globe
and as if to soothe a brow
he cracks a joke

‘whadya get when you cross a…’
nobody laughs, he says
‘thus I am your precedent for life’
