Something really gross, as we pass by a rotting piece of meat, or some newly laid dog poop, or some kind of substance with unknown contents and colors usually not found on the color chart, and to watch the flies dive in and lay their eggs, or some kind of urban creature take a sniff than a chunk of whatever it IS, that aside from providing a grotesque form on the ground is also wafting in the air permeating any and all pores in your body with what seems toxic stench. Usually, our gait quickens, and if we are with another person make express some kind of disgusting comment, or if we are alone a slight gag reflex finds its way to our throat, and we scurry away.
Something really gross, usually sitting in the Oval Office, and more than occasionally standing on a golf course, in the form of some kind of humanoid form, dozens a time a day percolates with odors and stench, but too often when he does, we don’t rush toward safety but instead stop, listen, and watch Talking Heads explode, as they repeat the smelly, obnoxious, stinky fumes, erupting from Trump’s mouth or ejected from his fingers in the form of Tweets. The rank, ramblings of a ridiculous man, the far-fetched fantasies formed from an insecure idiot, the lot of lies ludicrous and lingering, are never far away, and create an odor of distrust, harm and horrific ramifications that SMELL as severely as if the Trash collectors had been on strike for two weeks in the sweltering heat of a hot, humid summer in July.
With no empathy, no knowledge, no idea, and no intention of saving the souls of anyone but himself, Trump takes to the airwaves, or the Twitter waves and brags about his own bout of Bull Shit, and the only response he receives is, well, that IS Donald Trump. We all recognize he fumes of a fast-talking snake oil salesman, the lingering load of a fart, the emptiness of non-existent empathy, but still, Trump actually takes our breath away as he uses his to poison, by his words and lack of deeds the world in which we live. No one on the Republican side is brave enough to tell him to shut the fuck up, everyone on the Democrat side tries to be bold but not bold enough, and the Talking Heads, JUST can’t contain themselves from explaining to the world that Trump is a jerk, something we already know, and have done nothing to stop! Good luck to all of those in the wake of Florence!
