IF DONALD TRUMP HAD WRITTEN THE ILIAD
nobody knows who is losing
who is winning
where the battle lines
actually are
before the actual fighting started
the plan was to sneak attack
using the power
of the gods to
assassinate heroes and leaders
leaving (great for epic)
only the cannon fodder
but bigly will be
(we are promised,
and it is already in the blurb)
the epic
similes
the thousand ships
that sailed
to take back
Helen
assuming they
were headed to Mar-a-Lago
via Epstein island
across
a bubbling orangeade
bright sea
a poem for not just
all times
but way beyond eternity
the Nobel
Prize for Literature
a certainty
poems 2 die for
