TODAY

today, no cheap
linguistic tricks
I promise

such as
comic wordplay involving
crude pun, your
basic
   obvious homonym

such as
   poor Gareth, so
on the
wrong side
of history,

                  losing
intellectual footing
tumbling
    off a cliff

in his desperate intervention
to save the State
by savaging democracy

anything to distract
from the patently
racial
   sleight of hand
